A comprehensive lesson on converting fractions to terminating decimals using long division and equivalent fractions with denominators of 10, 100, or 1,000. Students will act as 'Decimal Architects' to rebuild fractions into their decimal equivalents.

A culminating challenge where students use all their 'architect' skills to solve a mixed set of equation and inequality problems.

Students write inequalities to represent real-life limits like speed, budget, and capacity, connecting math to everyday constraints.

Students learn to represent inequalities on number lines, understanding the meaning of open vs. closed circles and 'infinitely many' solutions.
