**Part 2: Decimals**
5. Introduce decimals by explaining that they are a way to express fractions using a base 10
system. For example, 0.5 is the same as 1/2.
6. Use decimal squares or a place value chart to show the relationship between decimals and
fractions. Demonstrate how to convert fractions to decimals, e.g., 3/4 = 0.75.
**Part 3: Converting and Ordering**
7. Show how to convert decimals to fractions and vice versa. For example, 0.3 can be written as
3/10.
8. Provide exercises for students to practice converting and ordering fractions and decimals.
Make sure they understand that they can compare fractions and decimals by looking at their
numerical values.
**Practice (15 minutes):**
9. Distribute worksheets with exercises involving fractions and decimals. Ask students to solve
these problems individually or in pairs.
**Conclusion (10 minutes):**
10. Review the concepts covered in the lesson. Ask students to share their answers to the
worksheet exercises.
11. Encourage students to ask questions or seek clarification on any concepts they found
challenging.
**Homework:**
Assign homework that reinforces the concepts taught in the lesson. This could include additional
conversion and ordering problems involving fractions and decimals.
**Assessment:**
Assess students' understanding through their participation in class activities and their
performance on the homework assignment.
**Extension:**
For advanced students or those who grasp the concepts quickly, introduce more complex
fractions and decimals or real-world word problems that involve these concepts.
