5th grade conversion of fractions to decimals game

5th grade conversion of fractions to decimals game - Have you ever tried making homemade ice pops together with your friends or family? If yes, do you know that there’s a conversion process going on there? Yes, yes there is! It is when we start to put the liquid ice pops to the freezer so that it would turn out to icy rock solid! But enough with the science trivia, because for today’s topic, we will be discussing the conversion of fractions to decimals! This is only a recap as these were also tackled on your previous grade level, but for those who are still confused with it, worry less, we got you, kids! In order for us to convert fractions as decimals, we need to look at their denominator first. If the fraction has 10, 100, or 1000 as its denominator, we can do the process of converting decimals to fractions but in reverse! For example, 7/10 is equal to 0.7; 32/100 is equal to 0.32, and that’s for our first method. For the second one, change the fraction to an equivalent fraction once the denominator is not the same as the aforementioned method. In order for it to happen, look for the LCM of both numerators and denominators, and if the denominator of a fraction reached 0, 100, or 1000, that is the time you will apply the first method! Oftentimes we cannot identify the equivalence of a fraction, in this case, for the third method, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator using the process of long division. Identify first the dividend and divisor, and simply do the long division method until you have brought down all the numbers needed! Don’t forget to add decimals, too! And that’s a wrap, kids! Conversion of fractions to decimals may not be as sweet as a slice of cake, but surely it is not as bitter as a weird-tasting vegetable! How about let’s test your knowledge with what you have learned today by playing the game? May the odds be ever in your favor!
