Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

Today’s Learning Goals We will review the link between fractions, decimals, and percents by playing the Four in a Row Game. We will review equivalent fraction ideas.

Four in a Row Game This game requires two players Player A puts a paper clip on a number in the number list. Player A does not cover a square on the grid because only one number has been marked; it takes two numbers to make a fraction. Today, we are going to play Four in a Row.

Four in a Row Game Player B puts a paper clip on any number in the number list (including the same number marked by Player A) and tries to make a fraction made by the two numbers In this case, Player B should make 4/9. What is 4/9 equivalent to in the grid? Good…

Four in a Row Game Player A moves either one of the paper clips to another number and then tries to make a fraction that is equivalent to a number in the grid What fraction should Player A make? Great…3/9! Is there anything equivalent to 3/9 in the grid? Yes…

Four in a Row Game Each player, in turn, moves a paper clip and marks a fraction. across, or diagonally. The winner is the first person who gets four in a row up or down, If a fraction is already marked or is not equivalent to anything in the grid, the player does not get a mark for that turn.

Partner Work You have 20 minutes to play one game with your partner.

For those that finish early Which fractions are not in the grid that could have been made from the numbers in the number list?

Big Idea from Today’s Lesson I hope you had some fun practicing your fractions, decimals, and percents links. There are many ways to write the same number.
