📚 Learning Objective

We are learning to: Understand the relationship between fractions and decimals by visualising fractions as parts of a whole and converting them into decimal notation.

Success Criteria:

✓ I can shade parts of a strip to represent a fraction

✓ I can write the decimal equivalent of a fraction

✓ I can explain the relationship between fractions and decimals

🎨 Part 1: Shade and Convert

Instructions: Each strip below is divided into 10 equal parts. Shade the correct number of parts to show each fraction, then write the decimal equivalent.

Decimal equivalent: 3/10 = _______

Decimal equivalent: 7/10 = _______

Decimal equivalent: 1/10 = _______

Decimal equivalent: 9/10 = _______

🔢 Part 2: Convert These Fractions

Instructions: Convert these fractions to decimals. Show your working in the boxes provided.

🎯 Part 3: Multiple Choice

Instructions: Circle the correct decimal for each fraction.

🌟 Part 4: Challenge Questions

📋 Teacher Notes

Support (for students needing extra help):

• Provide physical fraction strips or manipulatives

• Use colour-coded highlighting for tenths

• Start with simpler fractions like 1/10, 5/10

• Allow use of number lines

Extension (for advanced students):

• Convert fractions with denominators of 100 (hundredths)

• Explore equivalent fractions (e.g., 1/2 = 5/10 = 0.5)

• Create their own fraction to decimal problems

• Investigate fractions that create recurring decimals

Colour-Coding Instructions:

• Use blue for shading tenths

• Use green for writing decimals

• Use red for checking answers
