The KS2Gems 2022 FDP Equivalences worksheet offers a series of engaging activities to help children understand and recall equivalences between fractions, decimals, and percentages. In Activity 1, children use blank percentage grids and percentage digit cards to shade in the corresponding percentage on the grid, then convert it to both a decimal fraction and a fraction. A variation of this activity allows the use of fraction or decimal fraction digit cards to begin the conversion process. Activity 2 encourages creativity, where children use large paper and coloured pens to create informative posters or even compose a rap that explains the conversion between decimal fractions, fractions, and percentages.

Activity 3 involves a kinesthetic approach, requiring a selection of percentage, decimal fraction, and fraction cards and a large space like a hall or playground. Children are given a digit card and must position themselves according to criteria related to their card's value, then form groups to verify each other's positions and explain their reasoning. This activity helps reinforce their understanding of numerical equivalences. In Activity 4, children use digit cards and mathematical symbols to create mathematical statements, exploring the various combinations possible. Activity 5 is a fun, game-like challenge where children write numbers on whiteboards and cross out the selected number or its equivalent when digit cards are drawn at random. Finally, Activity 6 and Activity 7 provide practical applications by having children calculate price changes on takeaway menus or catalogues and find percentages of chosen 2 or 3 digit numbers, explaining their methods and checking calculations with a partner.
