Matching Fraction Conversions

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides students with a matching activity where they are required to connect fractions, their decimal equivalents, and their corresponding percentages. The fractions are all out of 100, making the conversion to percentages straightforward, as the numerator directly represents the percentage. The decimal equivalents are also given, and students must draw lines to match each fraction with its decimal and percentage form. The worksheet contains several sets of numbers to match, allowing for repeated practice.

The worksheet’s goal is to reinforce students’ understanding of the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percentages, particularly when the fractions have denominators of 100. It teaches students that a percentage is simply a fraction out of 100, and it helps them see the decimal equivalent of these fractions. By matching these different numerical representations, students enhance their number sense and their ability to switch between different forms-a critical skill for working with data, probabilities, and in real-world applications. This activity also helps to solidify their mental math skills and improves their ability to quickly recognize these equivalencies.
