We tried to get across that fractions, decimals and percentages are
simply a way of expressing the same thing - ie parts of a whole.
To do this we converted fractions to decimals to percentages
To convert a fraction to a decimal:
numerator divided by denominator = decimal
To convert the resulting decimal to a percentage
decimal x 100 = percentage
Thi8s was trialled on a calculator and we completed a sheet of
fraction conversions ranging from 1/2 to 7/8
Extension : those completing the sheet with a calculator attempt the
same exercise without a calculator!!
