Vocabulary Quiz - Fractions, Decimals and Percentages 2

A vocabulary quiz aimed at Year 6 students explores the concepts of fractions, decimals, and percentages. The quiz begins by asking what a decimal is, clarifying that it is used to represent numbers that are not whole. It then moves on to the term 'numerator', identifying it as the top number in a fraction. Understanding the place value system is reinforced by a question on what it means to write a number to 1 decimal place, which is rounding to the nearest tenth.

Further questions delve into the nature of a fraction, described as a part or parts of something, and the term 'the whole', which refers to the total of all the parts. The quiz also tests the understanding of how to shade a fraction of a shape, specifying that shading ¾ of a shape means dividing the shape into four equal parts and shading three of them. Additionally, it addresses the concept of a mixed number, which is a whole number combined with a proper fraction, and the effects of multiplying by 1000, which results in all digits moving three places to the left. The quiz concludes by defining a hundredth as one part in 100 equal parts.
