Fifth grade can be a particularly difficult year in mathematics. Students have been taught rational numbers, but now they begin to apply the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) to them. Using these operations can be difficult when applied to fractions & decimals, especially when the foundations of those concepts are shaky. These math tools will help my students reach a deeper understanding of fractions & decimals so they can move on to using them with the four operations. The tools will also help me explain they "why" in math that is so crucial to understanding these difficult concepts. Part of my project will also help extend students' understanding of fractions that we may not cover as a whole class. These tools will be used in a small group setting, allowing me to teach specifically to students' needs.
