This is a Lesson Guide in Elementary Mathematics. It contains lessons that focus on rational numbers dealing on fractions.It helps develop learner's skill in writing fractions, changing fractions to decimals and vice-versa, reducing fractions to lowest term, changing mixed number to improper fractions, estimating and ordering fractions and solving problems involving fractions.
Objective

2. Rename fractions as decimals and vice versa.
3. Solve for the missing term in a pair of equivalent fractions.
4. Reduce fractions to lowest term.
5. Change mixed numbers to improper fractions and vice versa.
6. Estimate fractions close to 0, ½, or 1.
