In Te Ngahere for maths we have been learning to convert fractions into decimals and percentages. We started off by getting a strip of paper that was one metre long or 100cms long. Next we had to split the paper into fractions so one paper was split into 5ths and one into quarters and so on. We then had to figure out the decimal point and percentage of each piece on our papers(Eg: the paper that was divided into 5ths, each piece was worth 20% or 0.2).
The challenging part when we did this was trying to make sure that each piece was the same size and making sure I measured them accurately. The easy part was figuring out the percentage of each piece.
Have you ever learned how to convert between decimals, fractions and percentages?
