Decimal and Percentage Equivalence WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Provide students with clear practice in moving between decimals and percentages through a structured mix of calculation and reasoning tasks.
Section A focuses on writing decimals as percentages, beginning with numbers up to two decimal places, then moving to sequences of closely related decimals to highlight non-integer percentages, and finishing with values greater than 1.
Section B reverses the process, with percentages written as decimals, including those above 100% and those involving tenths or hundredths of a percent.
Section C extends the learning with reasoning and problem-solving questions such as inequalities, matching pairs that sum to 1, and recognising patterns in sequences. The resource balances fluency practice with reasoning activities, helping students build confidence in switching between decimals and percentages and applying these skills flexibly.
