Curriculum & Math Activities
Fraction Decimal Line
Fraction Decimal Number Hop
Call out a decimal or fraction, and students must identify the corresponding section and hop onto it. For example, if you call out "0.5" or "1/2," students hop onto the section labeled "0.5" or "1/2." Increase the difficulty by calling out decimals or fractions that require conversion. You could also call out the fraction, and have the student hop on the corresponding equivalent decimal.
Fraction Jump
Place students in teams of 3-4 students. Each student on the team takes turns standing at the beginning of the fraction decimal line and jumps as far as they can on the line. Wherever their heel lands, the team measures the distance. Have the team round to the nearest 1/4 or .25 on the line. Add up the distances from all of the jumps on the team to see which team wins.
Rounding Decimals and Fractions
Pass out fraction or decimals cards with different values. Students round and find the nearest value on the fraction and number line. For example, if a student had the number .48, the student would stand on .5 or 1/2. Or if the student has 2.15, the student would stand on 2.25 or 2 1/4.
Fraction/Decimal Bag Toss
Place students in teams of 3-4 students. Each student gets a bean bag. Each student tosses their bean bag, trying to land on or near a fraction/decimal. The team then adds up their total from all of the tosses.
