They model common fractions and decimals.

They place decimals and common fractions on a number line. Students use decimals, ratios and percentages to find equivalent representations of common fractions (for example, 3/4= 9/12= 0.75 = 75% = 3 : 4 = 6 : 8).

Knowledge of decimal and percentage equivalents for 1/2, 1/4, 3/4, 1/3, 2/3.

Use of calculations involving operations with mixed numbers They write equivalent fractions for a fraction given in simplest form (for example, 2/3= 4/6= 6/9= …). They know the decimal equivalents for the unit fractions 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/8, 1/9 and find equivalent representations of fractions as decimals, ratios and percentages (for example, a subset: set ratio of 4:9 can be expressed equivalently as 4/9= 0.4 ≈ 44.44%).
