Fraction, decimal, percentage equivalence. Week beginning 30th May 2022.

Knowing, by heart, the basic fraction, decimal and percentage equivalences makes a huge difference in maths. Esentially, children can answer questions quickly- this might be expressing a remainder as a fraction or decimal or simply ordering a mixed bag of decimals, fractions and percentages. Once a child can move from fraction to decimal to percentage with ease, their problem solving abilities increase as does their confidence. 

Basic equivalences: 

1/4 = 0.25= 25% 

1/2= 0.50= 50% 

1/3= 0.33 (rec)= 33% 

1/5= 0.20= 20% 

1/8= 0.125 = 12.5%
