Percentages - Equivalent Fractions, Decimals and Percentages - Worksheet

The worksheets provided by Master the Curriculum offer a structured approach to understanding the interrelationship between fractions, decimals, and percentages (FDP). Catering to different levels of proficiency, these worksheets help children convert between these three forms of numerical representation. The National Curriculum objective is to solve problems involving the calculation of percentages, including those of measures, and to use percentages for comparison. To aid learning, differentiated sheets and teaching slides are available as resources. The key vocabulary for these exercises includes terms such as fraction, percentage, equivalent, tenths, hundredths, decimal, and conversion.

Children are tasked with using their knowledge of common equivalent fractions and decimals to find the equivalent percentages. A common misconception that the worksheets aim to correct is the confusion between 0.1 being equivalent to 1%, which can be clarified through visual aids such as diagrams that illustrate the difference between tenths and hundredths. The activities range from filling in tables with one or two missing values to more complex reasoning and problem-solving tasks. For example, students may be asked to create as many different fractions as possible using digit cards and then convert those fractions into decimals and percentages, enhancing their fluency and precision in dealing with FDP equivalents.
