A comprehensive course preparing 5th graders for the MAP math assessment, covering essential concepts and real-world math skills.
Fractions show parts of a whole. The top number (numerator) tells how many parts you have, and the bottom number (denominator) tells how many equal parts make up the whole.
\( \frac{3}{4} \) means 3 out of 4 equal parts.
Decimals are another way to show parts of a whole, but they use a dot (decimal point).
0.25 is the same as \( \frac{1}{4} \).
You can compare fractions and decimals or even change one to the other.
\( 0.5 = \frac{1}{2} \)
Fractions and decimals pop up when you’re measuring, handling money, or slicing a pizza!
If you eat 2 slices out of an 8-slice pizza, you've eaten \( \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4} \) of the pizza.
Buying a toy for $3.75 means you understand decimals and money.
Understand and use fractions and decimals in daily life.
