Fraction percentage equivalents

This is a lesson that I did with my year 6 class to solidify their understanding of fraction, decimal and percentage equivalents. I taught them how to convert a fraction into a percentage by finding the equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100. (e.g. 3/4 = 75/100=75%) but also told them, in the end, they need to know these off by heart. This lesson also really strengthened their understanding of equivalent fractions.
I started with a starter of putting fractions into their simplest form. Then looking at the different ways we can represent parts of a whole (decimals, fractions and percentages).
There are lots of chances for the teacher to model the method and differentiated practice questions for the class to complete on their whiteboards. (I always freeze the board so that I can see the answers to these and move the children onto the challenge if they get the answer correct).
There is a slide that is a printable worksheet for independent work (differentiated 3 ways) or can be displayed on the board to get the class to choose their own level of confidence). I display a slide with the LO and challenge question usually while the class are working independently.
I have included the answers so you can mark quicker or get the class to mark their own work!
Print off the SATs style question to stick in their books when you’re marking.
