Convert Fractions to Decimals: Tenths

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

This activity helps students convert fractions to decimal form, focusing on tenths. Designed for year 4 and 5 students.

Learning Objectives:

Convert fractions to decimals with tenths as the denominator.
Understand the relationship between fractions and decimals.
Strengthen skills in recognising and representing fractions in decimal form.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given a list of fractions with tenths as the denominator (e.g., 3/10, 7/10) and asked to convert them into decimal form. For example, 3/10 is converted to 0.3. Students complete this task by writing the fraction as a decimal, using their understanding of place value to convert accurately. The activity helps students reinforce their ability to switch between fraction and decimal representations, building their confidence in using both formats in mathematical contexts. An answer sheet is provided for self-checking and further practise.
