Lesson Introduction: Decimals to Fractions

Objective

Today, we will explore the fascinating world of decimals and fractions! By the end of this lesson, you will not only be able to convert decimals to fractions but also understand the relationship between these two forms of numbers.

Hook: The Mystery of the Chocolate Bar

Scenario

Imagine you have a delicious chocolate bar divided into 10 equal pieces. You take 2 pieces to share with your best friend. You know that you've taken 0.2 of the chocolate bar, but can you express that in another way?

The Challenge

Here’s the challenge for you:

1. Draw your own chocolate bar divided into 10 pieces on a piece of paper.
2. Color in the pieces you would share (let's say 2 pieces).
3. Think about how you can express what you took in terms of a fraction.

Discussion Questions

• What fraction of the chocolate bar did you take?
