Decimal and percentage equivalents of fractions worksheet

In an engaging worksheet designed for KS2 students, learners are encouraged to explore the interconnections between fractions, decimals, and percentages. Activity 1 invites children to tap into their creativity by drawing a poster with coloured markers or pens, explaining the process of converting percentages into fractions and decimals. For those who enjoy a musical challenge, there's a variation that allows students to express their understanding through writing a rap, making learning both fun and memorable.

Activity 2 shifts the focus to practical application with a hands-on exercise using fraction, decimal, and percentage number cards alongside blank or pre-marked number lines. Students begin by mixing the cards and selecting three, which they then place on a number line, demonstrating their understanding of numerical value and position. This activity includes a peer review element, where children swap their number lines with a partner for checking, promoting collaborative learning. Variations of this activity cater to different learning needs, offering additional support with divided number lines or increasing complexity by using more cards. In Activity 3, learners are provided with blank bar models and squared paper. Each child receives a number card and is tasked with drawing a bar model to represent the equivalent fraction, decimal, or percentage, reinforcing their comprehension of these mathematical concepts. The objective of these activities is to solve problems requiring knowledge of percentage and decimal equivalents, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of these fundamental numerical relationships.
