Repeating decimals
Duration
2x 60 minutes
Outcomes
Objectives
Students are able to recognize, order, and place repeating decimals and their
fractions on a number line
Students should discover via pattern-seeking that:
o Repeating decimals are multiples of some fundamental values
n(1/9)=n(0.111), n(1/99)=n(0.01010)
n(1/11)=n(0.0909), n(1/111)=n(0.009009009)
o Certain fractions have identical decimal values (equivalent fractions)
1/3 = 33/99 = 0.333
27/99 = 3/11 = 0.272727
(the first way obtained by repeating the numerator
0.272727, the second way obtained by repeating 3
times the 1/11 fundamental 0.090909)
