Decimals and Fractions: Making the Connection
Understanding decimal equivalents Year 5 Mathematics Building number sense
What Are Decimals and Fractions?
Fractions show parts of a whole Decimals are another way to show the same parts Both represent numbers between whole numbers They're different ways of writing the same value
Key Fraction-Decimal Pairs to Remember
{"left":"1/2 = 0.5\n1/4 = 0.25\n3/4 = 0.75","right":"1/10 = 0.1\n1/100 = 0.01"}
Fraction-Decimal Matching Game
Match the fraction cards with their decimal partners Work in pairs to find all matches Check your answers using visual models Time challenge: How fast can you match them all?
Working with Tenths and Hundredths
Fractions with 10 in denominator become tenths (0.1, 0.2, 0.3...) Fractions with 100 in denominator become hundredths (0.01, 0.02, 0.03...) The decimal place tells us the denominator 3/10 = 0.3 and 30/100 = 0.30 (same value!)
Quick Check: Can You Convert These?
1/2 = ? 3/4 = ? 7/10 = ? 25/100 = ? Discuss your thinking with a partner
