5 minutes |||| **Instructional Activities** Using the Interwrite tablet the teacher will demonstrate how to change a decimal number to its equivalent fraction form. Students will take notes in their journals and work problems with the teacher.

Distribute laptops to students. Students will complete the Education City RC Racers activity.

Once students complete this activity they will log on to Study Island and complete the convert fractions and decimals test.

Students will respond to the problem of the day on the class blog. This question relates to decimal and fraction conversion.

Distribute challenge and intervention sheets for homework. || **Materials and Resources** Computer, LCD projector

Interwrite tablet

 * **Notes:** ||
 * ** Monitor ** ||
 * **Ongoing Assessment(s):** The study island activity will be a formative assessment of students understanding of converting decimals to fractions. The teacher will also monitor students closely as they maneuver through both websites. ||
 * **Accommodations and Extensions:** Struggling students will be seated next to students who have a better understanding of fraction and decimal conversion. The teacher will also provide individual instruction as students work on the problems from the websites. Struggling students will receive the intervention activity for homework, gifted or high achievers will receive the challenge activity for homework, and the average students will receive the practice workbook activity. ||
 * **Back-up Plan:** If the technology is not working, activities will be completed using paper and pencil. The teacher will place students in pairs and have them help each other find the conversion for the decimal or fraction. Extra practice from the math textbook could also be used page 260. ||
 * ** Evaluation ** ||
 * **Lesson Reflection and Notes:** Closely monitoring students as they work through the conversions of decimals and fractions will be critical in student success with the Fabulous Fraction Party task. ||
