Are you looking for a hands-on activity to help students connect benchmark fractions to their decimal equivalents using fraction strips and a number line?
Students shade each fraction bar, then place their ruler at the end of the shaded section and line it up with the number line above to read off the matching decimal. Two recording mats are included — one with 5 fraction strips and one with 7 — so you can choose the version that suits your students.
What's included:
Recording mat 1 (5 fraction strips) — shade ½, ¼, ³⁄₅, ⁴⁄₅, and ⁴⁄₁₀
Recording mat 2 (7 fraction strips) — shade ½, ¼, ¾, ²⁄₅, ³⁄₅, ⁴⁄₅, and ⁴⁄₁₀
Answer keys for both mats
