Lesson 6 Concept Development

Problem 1: Represent mixed numbers with units of ones, tenths, and hundredths using area models.
Problem 2: Represent mixed numbers with units of ones, tenths, and hundredths on a number line.
Problem 3: Match the unit form of a mixed number to its decimal and fraction forms. Lesson 6 Homework

1. Shade the area models to represent the number, drawing horizontal lines to make hundredths as needed. Locate the corresponding point on the number line. Label with a point and record the mixed number as a decimal.
3. Write the equivalent fraction and decimal for each of the following numbers.
4. Draw lines from dot to dot to match the decimal form to both the unit form and fraction form. All unit forms and fractions have at least one match, and some have more than one match.
