Math, Number Lines, Decimals, Fractions, Grade 4, 5, 6, Teacher Tools, Assessments, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Here’s a ready-to-go, visual assessment of your students’ understanding of decimal and fraction benchmarks! They simply cut and paste to show their comprehension of this topic. This is a great way for students with different ability levels (and English comprehension levels) to show their math knowledge: without being hampered by reading comprehension or written output challenges. This one-page assessment includes a number line from 0 to 1. Students first cut out 14 decimal and fraction pairs (common benchmarks like 1/2 and 0.333) and determine where they should be pasted on the number line. This ensures they know the decimal value of each fraction given and how to order them by size. For an extra challenge, 4 more fractions and decimals are given (such as 11/12- that are not familiar benchmarks). Students must estimate where they would be placed on the number line and glue them there. How to Use this Product: This product is designed to be a simple and quick assessment of fraction and decimal conversion, estimating, using a number line, and common fraction and decimal benchmarks. Of course, you could also use it as an activity in your unit, a homework worksheet, or a math centre. Grades to Use With: This product is well-suited for students in grades 4-6. It aligns to 4th Grade Common Core Standards in the United States and Grade 5 Mathematics Standards in British Columbia, Canada.

Visual Math: Percentages, Ratios, Decimals, and Fractions Poster- Summative Assessment
Math, Percentages, Decimals, Fractions, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Assessments, Teacher Tools
How many ways can you represent a value? How are percentages, ratios, fractions and decimals related? o This open-ended, culminating project for a percent unit is a great way for students to stretch their thinking and connect the math concepts they have recently learned. o It is easily differentiated: assign simpler values (50%, 10%) to students with emerging understanding and more difficult values (12.5%, 66.7%) to students who need a challenge. o The completed posters make a fabulous bulletin board display or a meaningful piece for student portfolios/parent conferences. o This product includes 20 different blank poster templates from 1%-100% Student Instructions: Each of you will be assigned a percent. Your task is to represent it in as many ways as possible: o Equivalent fractions o Part-to-part & part-to-whole ratios o Decimals o Pictures & graphs o Word problems o Percent of an hour, a $ amount, a population, or anything you can think of Grades to Use With: This project works well in the middle grades (5-8) when these topics are being introduced and linked together. Standards: CCSS5.NBT.A.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left. CCSS5.NBT.A.3 Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths. CCSS6.RP.A.1 Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.” CCSS6.RP.A.3c Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.
