Rounding Decimals with a Number Line
Teach kids to use the number line to round decimals. Instead of chanting the rule for rounding, allow students to justify why we round.
Compare and order fractions, decimals, and percent
Here is an alternative to completing worksheets for these skills. I include a skill sheet which explains how students can convert the number to compare them. You could use them in math centers, have the students work them out on whiteboards, use it for a game, or as task cards. As they are cut apart the students are not as overwhelmed as using the skills on a worksheet.
