5.1: Notice and Wonder: Fractions to Decimals

A calculator gives the following decimal representations for some unit fractions:

What do you notice? What do you wonder?

5.2: Repeating Decimals

Use long division to express each fraction as a decimal.

Are you ready for more?

One common approximation for π is 22/7. Express this fraction as a decimal. How does this approximation compare to 3.14?

5.3: More and Less with Decimals

5.4: Card Sort: More Representations

Your teacher will give you a set of cards that have proportional relationships represented 2 different ways: as descriptions and equations. Mix up the cards and place them all face-up.

Take turns with a partner to match a description with an equation.
For each match you find, explain to your partner how you know it’s a match.
For each match your partner finds, listen carefully to their explanation, and if you disagree, explain your thinking.
When you have agreed on all of the matches, check your answers with the answer key. If there are any errors, discuss why and revise your matches.
