the numbers. 10/20= ½
- Let’s say were talking about ½ of 100, we T revisits prior learning, prompting questions include:
would represent this fraction as 0.5. - Who can tell me what is a fraction?
- ¾ = 75%. Let’s say our total is 100, ¼ = - If I had 10/20 how can we simplify it?
25, 2/4 = 50, and ¾ = 75%. - Turn to the person next to you and tell them how you would
change this to a decimal? (get multiple Ss to provide answers)
- Now let’s look at ¾, how would you represent this as a
percentage?
