Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade

Fractions, Decimals, and Percents (C) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet is much less guided than Factions, Decimals, and Percents A and B, as it requires students to convert more fluently between percentages and decimals.
Section A takes a closer look at common, but often difficult to convert, thirds and eighths. Here students are given the equivalences for 1/8 and 2/8, asked to determine 3/8, 5/8 and 7/8 using the information they have. Knowledge of equivalent fractions is drawn out as students are asked why 4/8 and 6/8 have been excluded.
Next up, students convert decimals to percentages including a number greater than 1 and decimals into 4 decimal places. Section C is the reverse of section B, with percentages converted to decimals. Section C gives learners a set of fractions which they will write as decimals and percentages including some tricky fractions such as 7/30 and 9/40.
Finally, section D is a spot, explain, and correct a mistake question which focuses on two common misconceptions when converting numbers greater than 1 and decimals to 3 decimal places.
