Grade 5
Unit 5 - Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
Lesson Objectives
5.1 - To review key fraction concepts; and to provide practice with solving prats-and-whole problems and finding fractional parts of whole numbers.
5.2 - To review the whole; and to provide experience with mixed-number and improper fraction concepts.
5.3 - To review equivalent fractions; to compare and order fractions; and to explore fraction addition.
5.4 - To introduce multiplication and division rules for finding equivalent fractions
5.5 - To provide practice with renaming fractions as decimals; and to review rounding decimals.
5.6 - To provide experience with several graphic models for renaming fractions as decimals.
5.7 - To use a calculator to find decimal equivalents for fractions.
5.8 - To discuss the meaning and uses of percents; and to introduce using a calculator to convert decimals to percents.
5.9 - To review the properties and construction of bar graphs; and to discuss the properties of circle graphs.
5.10 - To introduce the use of the Percent Circle to measure circle graph sectors.
5.11 - To introduce constructing circle graphs with the use of the Percent Circle.
5.12 - To extend the American Tour with information about mathematics instruction and related historical problems. (Optional)
Note: Lessons are typically covered in one class period. Lessons 5.1 - 5.12 will be followed by a review lesson, and then a summative assessment of these skills. Formative assessments may be given throughout the lesson to help students gauge how well they are mastering the lessons, and when they need to seek out additional help from me. Students seeking additional support should sign up for that help during “Quiet Time.”
