What this activity builds
Connect fractional and decimal names for the same portion of an inch without confusing decimal inches with feet.
Worked example
What decimal inch value is equivalent to 13/16 inch?
0.8125 inch, also written 0.812500 inch with trailing zeros.
Dividing 13 by 16 gives the terminating decimal 0.8125. Trailing zeros add display places without changing the value. The quantity is still measured in inches.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
- Trace a complete row so a value is not taken from the neighboring fraction.
- Ask learners to estimate whether a lookup should be below or above one-half before reading it.
- Use the chart to verify arithmetic after an independent attempt rather than replace all fraction reasoning.
