These
two activities can be carried out as a whole class with the tables (shown
below) drawn on the board (and with individual children coming to the front
to complete the activity) or individually with children completing the
worksheets which can be found by following the links below.
The
first activity involves simply drawing lines from the fractions to their
matching decimals (i.e. 5/10 matches with 0.5, 9/10 matches with 0.9 etc).
| 5/10 |
|
0.6 |
| 9/10 |
|
0.2 |
| 1/10 |
|
0.7 |
| 6/10 |
|
0.3 |
| 4/10 |
|
1 |
| 8/10 |
|
0.9 |
| 2/10 |
|
0.1 |
| 7/10 |
|
0.5 |
| 10/10 |
|
0.4 |
| 3/10 |
|
0.8 |
The
worksheet for this activity can be found here.
The
second activity is based on the table below:
| Fraction
(words) |
Fraction
(figures) |
Decimal
(figures) |
Decimal

| One
Tenth |
1/10 |
0.1 |
Nought

2/10 |

0.3 |

| Four
tenths |

5/10 |
|
|
| |
|
|
Nought
Point Six |
| |
|
0.7 |
|
| Eight
Tenths |
|
|
|
| |
9/10 |
|
|
| |
|
|
One
Unit |
Children
should complete the table by filling in the blank spaces. Numbers in each
row have the same value (i.e. One Tenth = 1/10 = 0.1 = Nought Point One).
The second row should therefore look like this:
| Two
Tenths |
2/10 |
0.2 |
Nought
Point Two |
This
activity will reinforce the links between fractions and decimals (and how
we say each type of number). The related worksheet can be found here.
