About
Get ready to explore the exciting world of rational numbers! This engaging and interactive Math Workshop Session is designed for fifth and sixth graders to build a strong foundation in understanding fractions, decimals, and how they relate to each other. Through hands-on activities, collaborative problem-solving, and real-world connections, we’ll move beyond memorization and truly grasp the meaning and power of these essential numbers.
What We’ll Explore:
Fraction Frenzy: We’ll start by revisiting and deepening our understanding of fractions. Using visual models like fraction bars, circles, and number lines, we’ll explore equivalent fractions, comparing and ordering fractions, and understanding fractions greater than one. Get ready to manipulate and visualize fractions in a whole new way!
Decimal Discoveries: Journey into the land of decimals! We’ll connect decimals to our base-ten system and see how they represent parts of a whole. Through engaging activities, we’ll learn to read, write, compare, and order decimals with confidence. We’ll also explore the relationship between decimals and fractions.
The Fraction-Decimal Connection: Uncover the fascinating link between fractions and decimals! We’ll discover how to convert fractions to decimals and vice versa, understanding when one representation might be more useful than the other. Get ready to see these two types of numbers as different sides of the same coin!
Real-World Rational Numbers: Where do we see rational numbers in our everyday lives? From measuring ingredients in a recipe to understanding discounts at the store, we’ll explore practical applications of fractions and decimals. You’ll start to see rational numbers everywhere!
Problem-Solving Power: Put your newfound knowledge to the test with challenging and fun problem-solving activities. Working individually and collaboratively, you’ll apply your understanding of rational numbers to solve real-world scenarios and develop your critical thinking skills.
