Check your answers
1
Start with the early review pages. Complete the fraction and decimal basics first so you are ready for the harder review pages later in the packet.
2
Use the answer spaces correctly. Write on the line when a short answer is needed and use the boxes or tables when the page format asks for a specific response.
3
Work carefully on comparisons and conversions. Pay attention to place value, equivalent fractions, and vocabulary as you move through the book.
4
Show steps on word problems and challenge items. A clear strategy helps you avoid mistakes and makes your thinking easier to check.
5
Review before moving on. If you finish a page early, go back and check your work before starting the next section.

Before You Start

This packet moves from easier review to harder mixed practice. The first half focuses on one skill at a time, and the second half combines skills in test-style review.

Fractions Focus

Recognize equivalent fractions, simplify fractions, compare fractions, and apply fraction reasoning in short word problems.

Examples

Equivalent fractions: 1/2 = 2/4

Simplified form: 6/8 = 3/4

Comparison: 3/5 > 1/2

Decimals Focus

Read decimal place value, compare decimals, order decimals, and solve decimal addition and subtraction problems accurately.

Examples

Place value: 0.45 = 4 tenths and 5 hundredths

Comparison: 0.7 > 0.65

Computation: 3.4 + 1.25 = 4.65

1. Disagree. Example: 5/6 is greater than 0.7, but not greater than 0.9.

2. Total of first three laps: 4.61 min. Average for 6 total laps under 5 min means under 0.83 min per lap. Current average: 1.54 min, so the target is faster.

3. 3/8 is most? Actually 1/3 is greatest of the three? Compare as decimals: 1/3 = 0.333..., 2/7 ≈ 0.286, 3/8 = 0.375; so 3/8 is most and 2/7 is least. Total = 67/56? Better as approximate: 0.994, so just under 1; more than half.
