Organization: North Carolina Standard Course of Study Grade Band: 7th Grade Standard Goal: The learner will understand and compute with rational numbers.
Lesson: Introduces students to fractions and explores basic mathematical operations with fractions, comparing fractions, and converting fractions into decimals or percents.
Activity: Graphically determine the value of two fractions you have chosen (which are represented as points on a number line). Graphically find a fraction whose value is between your two fractions (using an arrow on the number line as a guide), then determine its value. Bounded Fraction Pointer is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Activity: Visualize fractions by coloring in the appropriate portions of either a circle or a square, then order those fractions from least to greatest. Fraction Sorter is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
