"Mixed Skill Review for Decimals and Fractions" includes many different ways for students to review the concepts associated with decimals and fractions. Things they may be asked to do on the worksheet include:

* Write a fraction as a decimal.

* Write a decimal after reading the place value, like four and seven-tenths.

* Writing a decimal in words.

* Subtracting fractions.

* Adding fractions.

* Reducing fractions to their lowest terms.

* Use greater than and less than symbols to compare decimals.

* Change improper fractions to a mixed number.

Worksheets contain 9 or 12 problems in squares with extra space so students know exactly where to work through the problem and write the answer.

Being able to add and subtract fractions and decimals is important, but it's even more important that students get the chance to think deeply about how they relate to each other, which includes developing the number sense it takes to understand what's bigger and what's smaller, because that isn't always obvious with fractions and decimals.

It can be helpful to review at least one skill every now and then during class. For example, you might compare two improper fractions one day and read aloud a decimal in words the next, asking students to write it down.

Review worksheets can be a great way for students to practice skills ahead of a test. They can also be used as an informal assessment. They enable you to see which skills students are still struggling with so you know what to revisit during class.
