Equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages- w.b. 04.11.24

Knowing a few equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages saves time in tests. Knowing that 1/4 is the same as 0.25 is the same as 25% also enables a child to choose to calculate their answers using whatever they are most comfortable with- for example, 'find 0.25 of £40,' might seem tricky but if you know that 0.25 is really just a quarter, suddenly the question is much more manageable. Being able to move rapidly between fractions, decimals and percentages, choosing whichever works best for you, shows a high level of abilily.

This week, the children need to learn the following facts off by heart: 

1/2= 0.5= 50% 

1/4= 0.25= 25% 

1/10= 0.10= 10% 

1/3= 0.33= 33.3% 

1/5= 0.20= 20% 

1/8= 0.125= 12.5% 

3/4= 0.75= 75%
