Chapter 6 Test Review

1. Pictorial representation of fractions: draw a fractional part of a discrete whole and draw a fractional part of a continuous whole.

2. Simplifying fractions: simplify a fraction and explain the process.

3. Equivalent fractions: determine equivalent fractions and use them to convert fractions into decimal numbers (i.e. convert denominators to powers of 10 for terminating decimals and to 9 or 99 or 999 … etc. for repeating decimals.)

4. Convert repeating and terminating decimal numbers to fractional form ( whole#/whole# form)

5. Given two decimal numbers, be able to find others between them

6. Use approximation to find an estimate of an answer with mixed numbers (adding, subtracting, multiplying, & dividing) .

7. Given two fractions be able to use benchmark (neighbor) numbers to find a fraction between them.
