Abstract
This independent study outlines a fifth grade curriculum unit for fractions, decimals, and percents. The unit utilizes a problem-solving approach to lead to deep understanding of fractions and their relations to decimals and percents. The study is influenced by writings by Hiebert, Dewey, Piaget, \/ygotsky, and Fosnot, and uses a lesson planning format created by Hal Melnick. Four explorations drive the unit:
Exploration 1: What is a fraction?
Exploration 2: Going Deeper with Fractions
Exploration 3: Connecting Fractions to Decimals and Percents
Exploration 4: Comparing Fractional Amounts
