In this activity, you will use the GeoGebra applet to practice working with fractions, decimals, and percentages. You will randomly generate pairs of numbers in these three formats and perform the four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.[br][br]This GeoGebra applet generates random fractions, decimals, and percentages. You can use the checkboxes on the right side to choose whether to display fractions, decimals, or percentages. After performing the calculations, type your answers in the corresponding input boxes. A checkmark will appear if your answer is correct.[br][br][list][*]Generate two pairs of each type of number: fractions, decimals, and percentages.[br][/*][*]Perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division for each pair.[/*][*]Write down your solutions or explanations in the notes section below[/*][/list][br]Feel free to generate more numbers if you want extra practice!
Compare the results you obtained from adding and subtracting fractions versus decimals. What differences did you notice in the process or the complexity of the calculations? Provide examples from your work to support your analysis.[br]
How can understanding the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages help you in everyday life? Describe a situation where you might need to use these conversions and explain why they are important in that context.
How confident do you feel about working with fractions, decimals, and percentages after completing this activity? What specific skills or concepts do you think you have improved upon?[br]
