WEBQUESTS

This webquest is AMERICAN made!!

The information it contains was put together in an effort to improve
fifth grade math instruction with the use of challenging story problems,
mathematically sound games, and motivating lesson plans that use
NBA statistics to teach students fraction, decimal, percentage equivalencies
and much more. We hope that you will be able to use this
information to enhance your classroom experience as well.

Introduction:

Have you ever been bored out of your wits during math class? Are you easily distracted when the discussion includes such topics as fractional equivalencies, compatible numbers and estimation based on place value? We can fully understand anyone answering yes to these questions. In other words, don't feel strange or out of it. In fact, you are not alone which is why we have created this fun, exciting, challenging and mesmerizing ( you can look this word up in the dictionary ) website. Never again will you think of Math as boring. You will, however, think of Math a lot more.

Outcomes

The following outcomes are correlated with the recently adopted state of Ohio standards for mathematics.

1. Students will be able to use various forms of "one"to demonstrate the equivalence of fractions.

2. Students will be able to identify and generate equivalent forms of fractions, decimals and percents.

3. Students will be able to round decimals to a given place value, and fractions (including mixed numbers) to the nearest half or quarter.

4. Students will be able to identify and use relationships between operations to solve problems.

5. Students will be able to estimate reasonably the results of computations involving whole numbers, fractions and decimals.

6. Students will be able to determine and use the range, mean, median and mode. Then explain what each does and does not indicate about the set of data.
