Performance
• Inside-Outside Circle
Students are each given a fraction, a personal whiteboard and a dry 
erase marker. Ask each student to write his or her assigned fraction 
on his or her own whiteboard. The students form two concentric 
circles with an equal number of members in each; the students in 
one circle facing the students in the other circle. The inside circle 
is stationary while the outside circle moves one person to the left 
with each interaction. As students meet a new partner, each one 
writes on the partner’s white board, without repeating an answer, a 
decimal or fraction equivalent to the one originally presented. The 
challenge increases as more moves are made.


(5N9.1, 5N9.2, 5N7.4)
• Give the student a set of number cards (0-9). Show him or her the
fraction . Ask the student to place the number cards on a place 
value mat as a decimal.
(5N9.2)
• Students could be given a set of cards containing equivalent decimals
and fractions (benchmarks or denominators of 10, 100 or 1 000)
and asked to find the pairs.
