 Track Description
The activies in this Track for my fifth grade Math students first deal with the relationships of decimals, percents, fractions, and ratios. In the introductory lesson, students will count the different colors that make up a necklace and determine how many colors of each bead there are. Then they will figure the percents for the different colors of beads. Then the students will figure out what it costs to make the necklace and write what profit the store makes as a percent. In other activies, students will convert decimals to percents, work with word problems involving percents amd decimals which deal with capacity, money, and measurement, and balance a checkbook. By using everyday items, students should see how percents figure in everyday living activies. These activies address my learning gap of my students having trouble working and mastering problems with decimals and percents. The learning expectations from the Tennessee Curriculum Frameworks addressed are: The student will be able to demonstrate an understanding of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals through the use of technology and physical, pictorial, and symbolic representations, demonstrate an understanding of decimals by extending whole number place value concepts, demonstrate understanding of equivalent forms of rational numbers, and apply the study of whole numbers and fractions to situations in the learners' environment. These learning expectations are from Number Sense and Number Theory and Estimation, Measurement, and Computation from the Tennessee Curriculum Frameworks.
