About this resource
Description
Fractions and decimals are two ways to write the same amount. Seven tenths can be written as 7/10 or as 0.7, and forty-five hundredths can be written as 45/100 or as 0.45. This Decimal Campout activity helps 4th and 5th Grade students see that link by matching every value three ways: as a shaded model, as a fraction and as a decimal.
The pack has 36 campout cards. Twelve model cards show tenths strips and hundred grids, and they become the campsites. Twelve fraction cards and twelve decimal cards must each find their campsite. Students lay out the model cards, draw a fraction or decimal card, read it aloud and place it on the model that shows the same amount. Tricky pairs such as 0.7 and 0.07 make students look closely at place value. A Campout Log lets each student record every match, and a 4th grade decimals activity practice page asks students to write fractions as decimals and decimals as fractions with a denominator of 10 or 100. Use it in a math center, with a partner, or as a review before a unit on comparing decimals.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with prep tips, game steps and an extension idea
- 12 model cards with tenths strips and hundred grids
- 12 fraction cards and 12 decimal cards
- A Campout Log recording sheet
- A 4th Grade practice worksheet on decimal notation for fractions
- Answer keys for the Campout Log and the practice worksheet
Why Kids Love It
- Filling every campsite feels like finishing a puzzle.
- Models make tenths and hundredths easy to see, not just to memorize.
- Partners can check each other because every card has exactly one campsite.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Start with only the model and decimal cards, then add the fraction cards once students are ready. Use the Decimal Campout activity as a math center, or turn it into a race where teams fill all twelve campsites. At home, families can ask a child to explain why 0.7 and 0.07 are not the same amount.
