Polygraph: Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

This activity is created to enrich students' mathematical discourse on rational numbers through using vocabulary such as fraction, decimal, percent, mixed number, integer, positive, negative, simplified, and equivalent. This will also use students' number sense as they estimate a number's location on a number line by describing it as closer to 0, closer to 1, between `-\frac{1}{2}` and 0, and so on. Once students have played the game 2-3 times, teachers should highlight, discuss, and encourage good descriptors, strategies, and questions that the students have used.
