Multiplication (Decimal) Practice Sheets (Free)
These three sheets are divided into half sheets for a quick review, math review or guided math...and especially with spaced repetition instruction. Students are not adept at this process because they do not know their math facts (solvable - see white paper on methodology - free download) or they do not know how to count decimals in the factors to determine the location of the decimal point in the product. These exercises should help them. NOTE: Many students do not realize when they view a w

Fractional Number Lines - Fractions, Mixed Numbers & Decimals - Level 4 - FREE
Number lines - one step in difficulty from Level 3.
Number lines begin at whole numbers - not zero. Hence, the student can find improper fractions at any point by using a whole number location on the number line - and the student is off to the races.
If students are only given discrete mixed numbers, proper fractions, improper fractions and decimals, then they 'float' in isolation. These number lines connect the elements in an application setting.
It takes a little bit everyday and the child

Proper Fraction to Decimals to Percents - with 100 Block Shading - FREE
This resource is FREE, and it allows the teacher to transition from proper fractions to EQUIVALENT decimals and percentages. It ties that progression together in an equivalency. It also adds the pictorial understanding of all three math elements with a shading of a 100 block. If these type of resources are not used, students do NOT connect the math elements and they view percentages or decimals or fractions as separate entities when they are all the same thing in just a different form.I hope

Multiplication and Division Pictorial Models - Decimals/Fractions - FREE
If you teach mathematics from 4th through 8th grade, this resource should be extremely helpful to you.Students need computational prowess, but they must understand the model - the physical model on what the computations represent. As an urban Title 1 principal, I worked with so many teachers that did not possess a clear view of these models that I made up as a "Cheat" sheet for them. Earlier this year, I cleaned up this resource.The model is complete for all fraction and decimal multiplication p

Use with 4th through 8th graders...
Recommend using Fraction-Decimal Connection using Spaced Repetition - Pedagogy and methodology are free downloads on this website.
If this process is NOT done, all fractions and decimals are learned discretely and these elements 'float' in a student's conceptual understanding.

Decimals to (Proper) Fraction to Percentage Equivalencies - FREE
This is a FREE resource. It affords the kiddos to convert from decimals to fractions to percentages. It also allows the students to VIEW a shaded equivalent 100 block so that they understand the physical meaning of the mathematics.If this is not done in this manner, the students think that they are three (3) different mathematical entities; instead, they connect all three (3) and see that they are all the same thing in a different form.I hope this helps your students have a better understandin

Find the Decimal Between Two Whole Numbers - Approximate Size (FREE)
FREE Resource - Decimal Magnitudes. Kids are confused when they see large decimal numbers regardless of the overall size. 4.09128, for example, appears to elementary and many middle school students as a large number - and, of course, it is NOT. Making a series of resources for a video series I am working on. This exercise is one of those numeracy building processes.Best to you and your students!Blaine Helwig

"Fraction, Decimals and Mixed Numbers, Oh My!" ---- 'The Big Finish' -- FREE
The video "Fraction, Decimals and Mixed Numbers, Oh My!" is the fourth and last in this arithmetic content series, and for that reason, it is aptly sub titled, “The Big Finish!” It stresses connecting all fractional elements so students understand their physical relationship between one another, so that these skill elements are not learned only in isolation. The grade level intent is for 4th grade through 8th grade students; however, the process described in the video may be helpful to high sch

Teaching Decimal Magnitudes - By Thinking Money - FREE
This video's main focus is teaching decimal magnitudes. Kiddos look at decimals and they do not really understand how 'big' they are or where they fit into their previously learned whole number schema.The video's intent is for teachers to treat decimals 'as if they were only money' since only the tenths and hundredths place values significantly affect the overall 'size' of the decimal. It is a Free Video.I hope intermediate elementary and middle school teachers find the content somewhat useful

Decimals: Understanding Magnitude - Level 2 (FREE)
Next level...understanding magnitudes...where the decimal is located between two whole numbers.
With a small amounts of practice, the kiddos get good at this...and develop number sense of decimals.
Again, equate to money...3.42....3 dollars and 42 cents. 42 cents away from 3 bucks...or 0.42. 8 pennies away from 3.50 or 0.08. 58 pennies away from 4 dollars or 0.58.
Making 10 and 100 GREATLY assist in this process...teach the kiddos to add up to the nearest to 10...then to 100. Given: 0.34

Decimals: Understanding Magnitude - Level 3 (FREE)
Last sheets of this series...The kiddos are good to go with decimals if the teacher has covered the first two steps...Level 1 and Level 2.Interestingly...many adults I have met over the years also think at decimal like the number 5.4398267 is somehow a large number...when in fact it is APPROXIMATELY/ABOUT 5 dollars and 44 cents...$5.44 ....44 cents (0.44) from 5 dollars and 56 cents (0.56) from 6 dollars. This exercise straightens that misconception out - quite quickly.Best, Blaine Helwig
