IV. Common and decimal fractions. The student:

9) converts the common fractions with the denominators of the divisors of the numbers 10, 100, 1000 etc. to the finite decimal fractions using one of the methods: extending or reducing the common fractions, dividing the numerator by the denominator by mental calculation, in writing or using a calculator;

10) writes the common fractions with the denominators different from described in 9 point in a form of infinite decimal extension ( using an ellipsis after the last number), which were obtained by dividing the numerator by the denominator by mental calculation, in writing or by using the calculator.

Introductionm64f3f19c690089e9_1528450127855_0Introduction

Students revise the basic information about the common and the decimal fractions.

Procedurem64f3f19c690089e9_1528446435040_0Procedure

The teacher introduces the topic of the lesson: developing  the ability in converting the common fractions to the decimal ones.

The students give the examples of writing down the common fractions with the denominators of 10, 100, 1000, … in a form of the decimal fractions.

Example:

310=0,3

12100=0,12

2341000=0,234

Student analyse the presented examples and draw the conclusion.

25=410=0,4

320=15100=0,15

58=6251000=0,625

73100=7,03

64125=6321000=6,032

Conclusion:
The fractions whose denominators in factorisation into primes have the prime numbers of 2 and 5 can be extended to the denominators of 10, 100, 1000 … etc. and then written down in a form of decimal fraction.

Students use the information above to complete the tasks.

Task 1
Write the number in a form of the decimal fractiondecimal fractiondecimal fraction.

a) 710

b) 19100

c) 233250

Task 2
Write the number in a form of the decimal fractiondecimal fractiondecimal fraction.

a) 534

b) 7925

c) 233250

Task 3
The students work individually using their computers. They are going to watch the method of finding the decimal fractiondecimal fractiondecimal fraction having the common fractioncommon fractioncommon fraction which cannot be converted to the denominator of  10, 100, 1000 …

The student come up with conclusion:

To convert the common fractioncommon fractioncommon fraction to the decimal fractiondecimal fractiondecimal fraction we should divide its numerator by the denominator.

As a result we get the terminating decimals or periodic repeating decimals.

The set of repeating digits of the infinite repeating decimal is called the period. To simplify such extension we write the period in the brackets.

Task 4
The students find the decimal extension of the fraction by dividing its numerator by the denominator.

a) 1320

b) 13

c) 513

Task 5
The students indicate all fractions with finite number of digits.

a) 332

b) 716

c) 215

d) 128

An extra task:
John has written down the decimal smaller than 1 with three decimal digits. The thousandth digit is greater than the hundredth digit, and the hundredth digit is twice as big as the decimal digit. Is the fraction larger or smaller than  12? Why do you think so?

Lesson summarym64f3f19c690089e9_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

The students do the summarising tasks.
Then they sum up the class drawing the conclusions to memorise:
