Understanding the Fraction-Decimal-Percent connection concept is Huge!

This is a very powerful and useful concept for 6th grade students to understand. Understanding that given any form of a number a student can translate that into another form can help with many math problems. Students can compare many numbers, add, subtract, multiply and divide them with no problems. This concept comes in handy when working with real life and word problems.

Check out the following tutorials to practice up on the connections:

Tutorial 1- Converting Fractions to Decimals

Tutorial 2- Converting Decimals to Fractions

Tutorial 3- Representing numbers as Fractions, Decimals and Percents I

Tutorial 4- Representing numbers as Fractions, Decimals and Percents II
