Students use the fractions 1/10, 1/2, 1/4, and 3/4; the decimals 0.1, 0.5, 0.25, and 0.75; and the percents 50%, 25%, 75%, 100%, and the multiples of 10% as benchmarks with which to describe and compare all part-whole relationships.
Helps enhance instruction in the classroom by: engaging learners with student-centered activities relevant to everyday life; placing emphasis on understanding; creating a learning community where students refine problem-solving and communication skills; and providing extensive teacher support.
