Year 7 Fractions, Decimals and Percentages Worksheets

Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages are the three most important number skills that your students in KS2 need to learn. Let’s try to understand what these concepts mean:

The core concept of Fractions is simply parts of a whole, like when you've eaten three slices out of 8 from a pizza, you've had ³⁄₈ of it. Decimals are nothing but another way of showing parts using our place value system, where 0.5 means precisely the same as half, but uses dots and digits instead of fraction lines. On the other hand, Percentages are basically fractions dressed up in their fancy clothes - they always have 100 as the bottom number, so 25% just means 25 out of 100 parts.

Cazoom Maths resources include concepts like-

• Decimal Operations and Calculations

• Place Value with Decimals

• Visual Fraction Tools and Comparison

• Percentage Calculations and Applications

• Ordering and Converting Between Number Types

From calculating discounts while shopping to understanding sports statistics, these skills pop up constantly. We've seen your secondary school students using percentages to work out their test scores and fractions to share pizza fairly (surprisingly useful life skill). Cross-curricular connections include science data analysis and geography population studies.

• Shopping discounts and sale calculations

• Sports statistics and performance data

• Cooking measurements and recipe scaling

• Science experiments and data recording

• Financial literacy and pocket money management

• Art and design proportion work
