What it is
Fractions, decimals, and percents are three ways to write the same amount.
Why it matters
A discount sign says 25% off, a recipe says 0.25 cups, and a fraction says 1/4 — a student who can't see these as the same number has to relearn every problem instead of recognizing one they already solved.
How to do it
- To make a decimal, divide the top of the fraction by the bottom.
- To make a percent, multiply the decimal by 100 and add a % sign.
- A percent is just a number out of 100.
Examples by level
- Beginner1/2 as a % =Answer50%
- Intermediate1/4 as a decimal =Answer0.25
- Advanced1/16 as a decimal =Answer0.0625
Examples are generated by the same engine as the worksheets, so they're always mathematically correct. Built to avoid repeats, not reshuffle the same handful of questions.
Common mistakes
- Confusing which direction to move the decimal for percents.
- Not simplifying fractions after converting.
- Forgetting that percent means 'out of 100'.
Tips
- Multiply by 100 to go from decimal to percent.
- Divide by 100 to go from percent to decimal.
For parents
Memorise a few key equivalences (1/2 = 0.5 = 50%, 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%) as anchors for the rest.
For teachers
Use a three-column table (fraction | decimal | percent) so the equivalence of forms is always visible.
Key vocabulary
- equivalent
- equal in value, written differently
