Decimals and Percentages - Decimals as Fractions (1) - Worksheet

The "Decimals as Fractions" worksheet is designed to help children grasp the connection between decimals and fractions. It begins with exercises where students are given fractions, including visual and tactile aids like hundred squares and place value counters, to help them convert these fractions into decimal form. As they work through the worksheet, the students will see the direct correlation between fractions and decimals, demonstrating their understanding of place value by breaking down decimal numbers in various ways. By using the provided hundred squares, they can visualize the fractions represented in different formats and practice completing their own squares to solidify their learning.

The worksheet continues to build on this foundational knowledge with reasoning tasks that challenge the students to apply what they've learned. They are tasked with identifying the decimal equivalent of given fractions, and vice versa, enhancing their fluency and precision in the subject. Additionally, the worksheet includes problem-solving activities that require students to analyze part-whole models and determine which images are outliers based on their decimal and fraction representations. These exercises encourage students to think critically and explore multiple ways to represent the same numerical value, thereby deepening their comprehension of the relationship between decimals and fractions.
