Combine fractions, decimals, percentages and multi-step problems when the relationships between them are understood. Content and teaching order differ across school systems; these examples are practice choices, not an official curriculum equivalence.
Work through one example aloud before independent practice. To check 18 + 7 = 25, calculate 25 − 7. If a word problem asks about meters or coins, include that unit and check whether the answer fits the situation.
