Lets Get Organized...there are a lot of cards here!!
Review all card sets and colors.

Review all Black Line masters included (black and white sheets)
Orange set - tenths and fifths (fractions)

Blue set - tenths, hundredths (decimals and percents)

Green set- halves and quarters (fractions and decimals)

Light blue, Pink, Yellow set -(fractions, decimals, percents, scientific notation sort)

Yellow set - clocks with hour, half hour, and quarter hour clock faces.
 How to Make the Interactive Number Line

Cut along the thin line to make 4 strips.

Tape together the strips from end to end.

The number line can be used vertically or

horizontally.

Number lines can be:

attached to the wall/bulletin board
used on the floor or on a table during small
group instruction.
 Fraction 5ths and 10ths
Pull out the ORANGE circular 5ths and 10ths.

Have students read/or match the fraction number and picture

cards and make sure they can identify each picture by name.

Place zero (0/10), half (5/10), and whole (10/10) correctly on

the number line.

Select a 10ths picture card and ask students to tell you where it
would be on the number line. Start with asking: Between which
two fractions is our number? 0 and or and 1? Which fraction
is it closer to? How do you know?

Repeat until all 10ths pictures are placed. Do not remove them.

Next follow the same process to order the fifths cards. Ask: What
relationship do you notice between 5ths and 10ths?
 Decimal 10ths and 100ths
Pull out the BLUE square 10ths and 100ths.

Have students read/match the decimal number and picture cards

and make sure they can identify them by name.

Place zero (0/10), half (5/10), and whole (10/10) correctly on

the number line.

Select a 10ths picture card and ask students to tell you where it
would be on the number line. Start with asking: Between which
two fractions is our number? 0 and or and 1? Which fraction
is it closer to? How do you know?

Repeat until all 10ths pictures are placed. Do not remove them.

Next follow the same process to order the 100ths cards. Ask:
What relationship do you notice between 10ths and 100ths?
 Halves and Fourths Fractions and Decimals
Pull out the GREEN circle and square and models.

Have students place the and fraction circle

picture cards in order on the open number line.

Next have students look at and place the

corresponding hundredths decimal picture cards on
the number line in order.

Ask: What similarities and difference do you notice

between the two representations?

What percent numbers could you use to represent

each picture?
 Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
Students at the middle school level must be able to compare and order
fractions, decimals, percents, and numbers written in scientific notation.
Students are able to -

Represent percents using a 10x10 grid.

Convert a fraction to a decimal and then the resulting decimal to a
percent.
Compare and order no more than five fractions, decimals,
percents, and numbers written in scientific notation using positive
and negative exponents. Ordering may be in ascending or
descending order.

ARI SOL 6.2c: Allow students to shade in regions of a 10x10 grid and
determine the fraction, decimal, and percent equivalent.

Ask: How does the different ways numbers can be represented help us
to compare and order them?
 Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
Picture Perfect: Students will use three or more
different colored pencils (markers, crayons) to create a
design in the Hundreds Square. Students must color at
least 75% of the square. Then, students will represent
the equivalent relationships between fractions,
decimals, and percents for each color identified.
Color 1: Green Percent: 40% , Fraction: 4/10 (40/100, 2/5), Decimal: 0.4

Color 2: Red Percent: 16% , Fraction: 16/100 (4/25), Decimal: 0.16

Color 3: Blue Percent: 11% , Fraction: 11/100, Decimal: 0.11

Color 4: Orange Percent: 16% , Fraction: 16/100 (4/25), Decimal: 0.16

 Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
Fractions, Decimals, Percents, and Scientific Notation
Sort: Compare and order no more than five fractions,
decimals, percents, and numbers written in scientific notation
using positive and negative exponents. Ordering may be in
ascending or descending order.

Ask:

1. What similarities and difference do you notice between

the multiple representations?
2. What decimal numbers could you use to represent each
picture?
3. Are there any numbers that are equivalent? How do you
know?
 Telling Time
Pull out the YELLOW clock pictures.

Have students place the clock cards in order on

the open number line.

Students can count forward starting at 12:00 by

whole hours, whole and half hours, or whole/half
and quarter hours.
