Enduring Understandings Fractions and decimals allow us to solve problems that are not possible with just whole

e numbers. Just as every whole number is obtained by combining ones, every fraction can be obtained by combining unit fractions. Relationships exist among larger and smaller measurement units within a system. The size of a fractional part is relative to the size of the whole. There are relationships among the four operations. Essential Questions How are units of measure within one system related? How can you apply understandings of operations on whole numbers to operations on fractions? How can you model, represent, and interpret addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division situations? How can you represent, interpret, and solve problem situations involving fractions and decimals? What strategies can be used to represent and compare two decimals?

USE DECIMAL NOTATION TO REPRESENT FRACTIONS WITH DENOMINATORS 10 OR 100

Q3W1D1

Explore: Coin Box. Click on the penny in the blue box at the bottom of the screen; select collect. The large square represents one dollar. Answer:

What does each small square represent? What fraction of a dollar is one cent and why? What fraction of a dollar is a dime and how do you know?

Drag the dime and penny tiles to collect the required amount of money. Answer:

How many dimes are there in your collection? How many pennies? What fraction of a dollar did you collect? How would you write this amount of money using a dollar sign and decimal point?

USE DECIMAL NOTATION TO REPRESENT FRACTIONS WITH DENOMINATORS 10 OR 100

Note: Fractions with a denominator of 100 can also be represented using decimal notation; is written as 0.46. The decimal is read as forty-six hundredths and the decimal point separates the whole number amount from the fractional part of a whole. Answer: How many hundredths of a dollar is 46 cents? For additional examples, click on the New button at the top of the page and use dimes and pennies to collect the new amount shown. Answer and discuss:

What fraction of a dollar is represented? How can you write this number as a decimal? What fraction of a dollar is 6 cents ? How would you represent 6 hundredths as a decimal? What fraction of a dollar is 60 cents? How would you represent 60 hundredths as a decimal?

USE DECIMAL NOTATION TO REPRESENT FRACTIONS WITH DENOMINATORS 10 OR 100

Examine models of the decimals 18 hundredths and 1 and 8 hundredths (Modeling Hundredths). Answer:

What decimal does each model represent and how do you know? How would you represent these numbers as fractions with denominators of 100?

Represent and explain a variety of other decimals. Discuss the relationships among the representations. Use the tenths squares to represent 1 6/10 (Decimal Squares: Tenths and Hundredths). Explain why your representations are correct. Note: 1 and 6 tenths can also be represented as the decimal 1.6 Discuss how the representations are related. Answer:

How would you represent 12/10 using Decimal Squares and as a decimal?

Use Decimal Squares: Tenths and Hundredths and decimal notation to represent additional fractions with denominators of 10 or 100. Synthesize: How does applying your understanding of fractions help you understand decimals? The Visual Learning Animation, Fractions and Decimals, is an additional resource that explains and models using decimal notation to represent fractions with denominators of 10 or 100.

SOLVE MEASUREMENT PROBLEMS INVOLVING TIME TO

THE NEAREST TENTH AND HUNDREDTH OF A SECOND
Q3W1D3

Think: What do you know about seconds and minutes? Examine an analog clock with a second hand to determine the length of time of one second. Give impressions of how long 1/100 of a second is. (Use a digital timer to help students appreciate units of time smaller than a second.) View (page 1): 100 Meter Records. The 100 Meter race is a sprint race and that the world record holder is referred to as the Fastest Man or Woman in the World. 100 meters is the length of many soccer fields and a bit longer than a regulation football field. Discuss:

What do you notice about the times? How do you read the times? How much time separates the record set in 2002 and the record set in 2009 and explain? What equation using fractions represents the comparison of the records set in 2002 and 2009?

Complete 100 Meter Records. Answer:

What equation did you use to solve A and explain your solution? How did you solve D? About how much faster is the mens record than the womens record and how do you know? How did you solve G? How does thinking of decimals as common fractions help you solve problems involving tenths and hundredths?

Q3W1D4

View: map of the Mount Vernon Trail. Note: This scenic, paved trail from Mount Vernon to Theodore Roosevelt Island is about 28 kilometers long and is used by walkers, runners, and cyclists. Evaluate the problem on Page 1 of the resource, The Mount Vernon Trail. Discuss:

What strategies can you use to solve the problem? What equation can you write to represent the problem? What is a reasonable answer for the problem and how do you know?

With a partner, solve the problem and share strategies and solutions (The Mount Vernon Trail Sample Solutions). Note: You will use information from Problem A to solve Problems BD on Pages 2 and 3. As you work, read your equations aloud. Answer:

How do you know that your answer is reasonable? Why did you decide to subtract? How did thinking about money help you solve the problem? How can you represent your answer as a decimal? How does adapting strategies for adding and subtracting fractions help you solve problems involving addition and subtraction of decimals?

Additional Practice: Biking Word Problem engages students in solving a measurement problem involving distances (miles to tenths).
