After this lesson from last year: https://mathmindsblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/18/fraction-to-decimal-division-table-noticings/ a lot of the same patterns emerged from the students. There is, however, one fraction that still drives them crazy…the 11ths.

The best part of this lesson was the work I found after the lesson was over. They were working on it any free moment they could find in the day! This has become a genuine curiosity for them and I love it! They are still working, but I could not help but laugh at the heading of their work:
I will keep you posted on their findings….
