This is an investigation activity that students can do independently or in groups to discover the patterns when converting fractions to repeating decimals. It provides examples of how to use long division to convert a fraction to a decimal and then has students apply the same strategy to other fractions with the same denominator. These examples make it great for a sub plan or for early finishers with no instruction needed from the teacher.

Students will investigate the patterns in the decimals for fractions with denominators of 9ths, 3rds and 7ths.

It includes reflection questions to generalize the patterns and apply them to make predictions.

3 pages of one-step equations with space to check your answer by substituting it back into the initial equation. All four operations included! The first problem is completed as an example, making this perfect for stations or sub plans!

A page of exponents practice and a page of prime factorization practice, each with a completed example at the top. This would be a great activity for a sub day or for students with learning needs who benefit from completed examples. It is a completely editable google doc so you can delete the completed example too if you want.
