Ordering Fractions and Decimals

Miss Dietrich guides students through lesson 2.2 of the Go Math series, focusing on ordering numbers from least to greatest. The lesson involves converting fractions to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator. The process includes understanding multiples, performing division, and comparing decimal values. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of the tenths place in determining order and demonstrates rounding techniques to simplify comparisons.

What is the main challenge discussed in this lesson?

• Ordering from least to greatest

• Adding fractions

• Multiplying decimals

• Subtracting integers

What is the first step in converting a fraction to a decimal?

• Divide the numerator by the denominator

• Add the numerator and denominator

• Subtract the numerator from the denominator

• Multiply the numerator and denominator

Why might you consider simplifying a fraction before converting it to a decimal?

• To avoid division

• To change the value

• To make it more complex

• To make it more user-friendly

What should you do with the decimal point during the division process?

• Place it below the divisor

• Place it randomly

• Ignore it

• Bring it directly above in the quotient

What is the result of 12 times 5?

• 50

• 80

• 60

• 70

When should you stop dividing if the division does not work out evenly?

• When you get tired

• When you have enough information to compare values

• When the remainder is zero

• When the quotient is a whole number
