On the last day of term, we had a challenge. Which group would be able to match up the fractions, decimals and percentages that were equivalent to each other the fastest?

It was a tight race to the finish with lots of confusions caused by the 0.01 and 0.1 decimals but we did it in the end! The equivalences are now on display in our classroom to try to help us to memorise them but here they are in case you’d like to know too!

(≡ means equivalent to)

1 ≡ 100% ≡ 1/1

0.5 ≡ 50% ≡ 1/2

0.25 ≡ 25% ≡ 1/4

0.75 ≡ 75% ≡ 3/4

0.1 ≡ 10% ≡ 1/10

0.01 ≡ 1% ≡ 1/100
