Description

My students love our math race through space! Groups start at Mercury and solve math problems all the way to Neptune! If they miss problems, they are given a "black hole" problem. They are practicing math skills while reviewing knowledge of our solar system!

There is a set of decimals problems and a set of fractions problems. Students only need one set, so you can review just one skill or give them a little of both!

I included a "letter to parents" so you can keep parents informed about this exciting activity happening in your classroom!

Skills practiced: add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals; add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, 𝘢/𝘣 + 𝘤/𝘥 = (𝘢𝘥 + 𝘣𝘤)/𝘣𝘥.)
Interpret the product (𝘢/𝘣) × 𝘲 as a parts of a partition of 𝘲 into 𝘣 equal parts; equivalently, as the result of a sequence of operations 𝘢 × 𝘲 ÷ 𝘣. For example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) × 4 = 8/3, and create a story context for this equation. Do the same with (2/3) × (4/5) = 8/15. (In general, (𝘢/𝘣) × (𝘤/𝘥) = 𝘢𝘤/𝘣𝘥.)
Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.
