Decimal & Percent Notation

LANGUAGE
Mathematics›Fractions|Ages 8—11|ID: mt_W17Kbwm0-u

Read, write, and use decimal and percentage notation correctly — decimal, decimal point, tenths, hundredths, thousandths, percentage, per cent, % symbol, convert, terminating decimal — and understand the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages as three ways of expressing the same value

Mastery Evidence

  • Read and write decimal numbers correctly, identifying the value of each digit (ones, tenths, hundredths)
  • Use the % symbol correctly and explain that per cent means 'out of 100'
  • Convert between simple fractions, decimals, and percentages (e.g. 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%) and explain why they are equal

Assessment Prompt

“If [child] saw '0.5' and '50%' written down, could they explain that they both mean the same amount — and write them as a fraction too?”

Prerequisites0

No prerequisites — this is a foundational topic.
