When You See a Decimal Fraction…Yeah!
To the tune of the Theme Song of “Victorious”
1. Here I am, a decimal fraction
2. Add or subtract, no matter what-
Got no denominator to end
Need to make sure to line it up.
Only a point to show my value
Using a decimal point will help a lot-
And you need to know how
When you use that point
Much of a whole
Tenths under tenths
Each place value period means
Hundredths lined together, please
A tenth is one of ten equal parts
Then, add or subtract
A hundredth- one of a hundred
Using the methods you learned-
Equal things
You’ll find the answer, you see-
You don't have to be afraid to read a
You don't have to be afraid to compute
decimal fraction-
with decimal fractions-
Tenths, one to the right of the decimal
Tenths, one to the right of the decimal
point are no big problem.
point are no big problem.
Hundredths- two places to the right,
Hundredths - two places to the right,
They are smaller all right
They are smaller all right
When you read a decimal fraction.
When you add a decimal fraction.
‘Cuz you know that if you understand
‘Cuz you know that if you can add or
those decimal fractions,

Proficient, you’ll be and have complete

When You See a Fraction…Oh, oh,oh,oh!
To the tune of the Theme Song of “Big Time Rush”
1. Fractions have 2 important parts-
2. What about two fractions
Numerators and Denominators
That equal the same thing
When you see fractions
Get ready for equivalent fractions.
Numerators show how many equal
Multiply both parts
parts
By another name for one
Of a whole are considered
Time for equivalent fractions
When you find fractions
Hey, heyHey, hey-
Four fourths equals one.
Don‘t forget the denominator now-
Hey, hey-
Hey, hey-
So does seven sevenths.
It’s the number of equal parts
Hey, hey-
Hey, hey-
Did you try five fifths?
A whole is divided into
Oh, oh, oh,oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When we need to add & subtract
Some fractions are bigger than one-
fractions-
Mixed Number have a whole and a
A common denominator is requested-
fraction
Only add or subtract the numerator
If the numerator is the bigger one,
Leave the denominator as is
An improper fraction you have
When computing these actions.
When you see fractions-
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Take a Chance
To the tune of the Theme Song for Perry the Platypus
It’s the likelihood that an event will happen- proba-proba-bility
It’s a chance for some favorable action, action, actionIt’s more than a common fraction’d beNumber of what you want over what you totally see
And the students call out and share the chances hey!
Take a chance- probability!
It’s an organized list with all the possible outcomes- tree, tree diagrams.
Shows what happens when combinations are in action, action.
It’s a product of one choice you’d see
And another one that you’d agreeAnd students call out and share the outcomes-hey!
Take a chance- tree diagrams!
