GENERATE

Once students can articulate the base relationships between fractions and between

fractions and decimals (establishing/activating prior knowledge), they can proceed

with next cycle.

● Using the benchmarks (decimals and fractions), students are led through 5-10

minute activity to piece together pictorial and symbolic relationships leading

into the Illuminations activity. Bring everyone together regarding strategies

for comparing decimal place value to fraction denominations

It’s not only fractions and decimals that can be compared directly, it can also be

percent. So how does percent relate to fractions and decimals?

● Students are introduced to the Fraction Models game.

● Students are asked to input fractions less than one only to begin with. Record

the data collected in each column/area - fraction, improper fraction, decimal

percent (student data chart in Google docs would work well here so both

partners has continuous access to it)

● What patterns emerge? What can you say about their relationship in general?

Can you devise a theory about their relationship that can be applied to any

situation where one value is being asked to be compared to the other two?
