This lesson will help children to understand how to convert fractions into decimals using the short division method. 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
