Recurring Decimals WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

KS4 students aiming for grades 6 or above can complete this worksheet about recurring decimals without using the algebraic method.

Section A starts with a match-up of ninths and their decimal equivalents and encourages students to notice any patterns. This pattern spotting is continued in section B as students can use an example given to find recurring decimal equivalents of fractions with 99 or 999 as the denominator. Section B pushes students further. Here, learners are given 2 examples of the conversions where the fraction denominators are 90 and 990 and asked to find further equivalences like this.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
