Standards for Equivalent Fractions and Decimals
This pack supports fourth grade math standards connected to equivalent fractions and writing fractions as decimals.
Common Core State Standards
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.A.1: Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n x a)/(n x b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions. Kids sort and match equivalent fractions.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.C.6: Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. Kids match fractions like 1/2 and 50/100 to 0.50.
TEKS for Mathematics
- TEKS 4.2(G): Relate decimals to fractions that name tenths and hundredths. Kids match each fraction to its decimal.
- TEKS 4.3(C): Determine if two given fractions are equivalent using a variety of methods. Kids sort equivalent fractions under each flap.
Virginia Mathematics Standards of Learning
- 4.NS.3.e: Represent equivalent fractions with denominators of 12 or less, with and without models. Kids draw and write equivalent fractions.
- 4.NS.5.b: Identify and model equivalent relationships between fractions (proper or improper) and/or mixed numbers and decimals. Kids match fractions and decimals.
Equivalent Fractions and Decimals Pack gives fourth grade kids practice connecting common fractions like 1/2, 1/4 and 1/10 to their equivalent fractions and decimals.
Kids build a flip book, sort equivalent fractions and decimals under each flap, draw and simplify fractions on graphic organizers and graph decimal equivalents. A game wraps it all up.
The flip book and sort work well in an interactive math notebook. The game cards make a quick review before a test.
