Convert to Hundredths

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is designed to help students practice converting fractions into decimals. Each problem presents a fraction that students must first convert to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100 (hundredths), which is a helpful step for understanding percentages. Following this, students are then instructed to convert these hundredths into decimal form. The worksheet provides a series of such conversion problems, with each fraction varying in complexity to challenge and develop the student’s conversion skills.

The worksheet is teaching students the important mathematical process of converting fractions to decimals, emphasizing the intermediate step of translating the fraction into hundredths. This step is a key concept since percentages are based on the notion of parts per hundred. By working through these conversions, students develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percentages, which is critical for more advanced mathematics, financial literacy, and interpreting statistical data. This practice also helps students become more comfortable with the concept of equivalency between different numerical forms, a fundamental skill in numeracy.
