MEASURING TO NEAREST EIGHTH
Often times we need to measure with a ruler or yardstick to find the length. We will review how to read a ruler and measure to the nearest eighth of an inch.
EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS AND DECIMALS
Decimals and fractions are connected. When converting fractions to decimals, the results may be a terminal or a repeating decimal. Terminal means the decimal terminates or ends. Repeating means the decimal will continue on forever in a repeating pattern of numbers. We will practice writing fractions as decimals.
To check equivalence of fractions, we can use a process called cross multiplication to test for equivalence. We will look at the connection between equivalent fractions and their cross products.
