This lesson will help children to understand how to convert fractions into decimals by finding equivalent fractions with the denominator 100 or 1000. There is a teaching presentation and three levels of worksheets (working towards, expected and greater depth) with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem solving questions.

National Curriculum Objectives: Mathematics Year 6: ·       count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by 100 and dividing tenths by 10 ·       solve problems involving increasingly harder fractions to calculate quantities, and fractions to divide quantities, including non-unit fractions where the answer is a whole number ·       add and subtract fractions with the same denominator ·       recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundreds ·       recognise and write decimal equivalents to ¼, ½, ¾ ·       find the effect of dividing a one- or two-digit number by 10 and 100, identifying the value of the digits in the answer as ones, tenths and hundredths ·       compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to 2 decimal places ·       solve simple measure and money problems involving fractions and decimals to 2 decimal places

Differentiation: There are three levels of differentiation in this pack: ‘working towards,’ ‘expected’ and ‘greater depth’.
