Teaching Gracefully

Use this to help students practice or as an assessment when teaching students about placing decimals on number lines, comparing decimals, and ordering decimals. Students are asked to complete the given number line with decimals, choose which decimal correctly identifies the given point on a number line, place specific decimals on a given number line, compare decimals and explain their reasoning, order decimals from least to greatest and greatest to least, and apply these concepts to solving rea

Use this pre-assessment to find out what your students already know about comparing fractions and decimals. This pre-assessment asks the students to use < , > , = to compare fractions with like and unlike numerators and denominators, solve a word problem involving fraction comparison, order decimals from least to greatest, place a decimal on a number line, and match amounts expressed in unit form to its equivalent fraction and decimal form.

Use this to help students practice or as an assessment when teaching fractions and decimals. Students are to write a decimal and a fraction to represent the part of a grid that is shaded, compare fractions and decimals, shade grids to represent given decimals, write fractions as decimals, and write decimals as fractions.

Use this resource as a helpful tool when teaching students how to compare and order decimals. This resource provides objectives as well as logical and sequential lesson steps for moving from the visual models to the mathematical procedure of how to compare and order decimals in language that you and your students can understand. This resource includes working through two examples.
