Making Sense of Conversions Palisoc, Dr. Randy

In math, numbers take on many different forms. For example, a single value such as 75% can be expressed not just in the form of a percentage, but also in the form of a decimal or in the form of a fraction. There is great power in knowing how to convert a value from one form to another. It makes everything from tipping at a restaurant to calculating batting averages easier.Unfortunately, many students struggle with these conversions, and as a result, they can’t take advantage of the power behind these numbers. This is how Making Sense of Conversions can help. This is one of the most important units in Ironbox Education's Core Advantage series. Not only will it show students how to convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages, but it will also show them why it makes sense to do so.Students will learn that conversions are not just about fractions, decimals, and percentages, but they're about creating options and having the power to choose whichever form works best.
