Next week there will likely be a decimal-fraction-percents quiz!
One way to study is to use the math links I provide. Here are some great online sites for practicing decimals/fractions/percents!
Comparing Decimals, Compare Decimals Game, All About Decimals
Fruit Shoot, Converting Fractions to Decimals, Millionaire version Jeopardy version
You might also want to watch this Khan Academy video on comparing decimals or this Khan Academy video on converting decimals to fractions.
Another way to prepare yourself is to use the Frayer 'math dictionary' sheets like we use in class. Pick definitions related to the topic, such as 'decimal', 'comparing decimals', 'simplified fraction' and review your knowledge by filling out the sheet. You can always compare your answers to the math dictionary bulletin board in class, where all the Frayer math dictionary entries are posted!
Extra copies of the Frayer math dictionary sheet are available HERE on my download page for easy download and use at home.
A fourth way to prepare yourself is to look up previous math questions on my math page, such as the ones on Oct. 4 and Oct. 9 etc. and give those a try at home.
Remember to consider the four criteria when working on an answer to those questions:
Knowledge and Understanding
Thinking
Communication
Application
These are defined in a previous blog if you need to refresh your memory! But we will continue to look at samples in class to refine our understandings of how to use these four criteria to achieve 'better answers' in math.
PS Before we do the decimal/fractions/percents quiz, the previous quiz will be returned to students so they get feedback on what they have done thus far. This should also help them refine their understanding of how to best communicate their math ability. As usual, this will go home for parent signature and review.
