Two card games which can be used to practice conversion between decimals, fractions and percents are presented. (MM)

Described is a bingo-like game for classroom drill with fractions and their equivalents. (RS)

Programs which compute values for the nth power of 2 where n is very large and for fractions, with a great deal more precision than is normally possible for a computer, are listed. (TG)

The document presents a criterion referenced test of basic math skills, including division, multiplication, addition, subtraction, fractions, decimals, time, and measurement. (DLS)

The development of fractional and decimal notation is outlined beginning with Egyptian hieroglyphics. (MN)

An efficient division algorithm is developed, using a computer program, to convert any positive fraction to its decimal representation. The computer program listing is included. (MNS)

Curricular placement of and emphasis on common and decimal fractions are discussed. Suggestions include: retaining common fractions in the curriculum, teaching decimal concepts and notation earlier, reducing fraction computation complexity, and moving fraction computation upward in the curriculum. (MK)

Discusses a strategy for clarifying students' understanding of decimals, improving their ability to read decimals, and increasing retention of decimal skills. (YP)

Presents three games using calculators, specifically Texas Instruments' Math Explorer, as an aid to teaching fractions and decimals. Briefly discusses the development by the Texas Education Agency of staff development modules for teachers to learn about calculators, mathematics, and the incorporation of calculators into the teaching of…

Rules for determining the number of initial zeros and the period of a repeating decimal are stated and proved. (SD)

Suggestions are given for activities to use to introduce common and decimal fractions. Models are used initially and symbols are introduced slowly. Decimals are related to common fractions. (MP)
