A number is in decimal form when the decimal point is shown and there are digits to the right of the decimal point.

The expression in a fraction that is written above the fraction line. It is the dividend.

The expression in a fraction that is written below the fraction line. It is the divisor.

Ordering fractions by converting

Maths

In this unit, pupils have explored the structure of fractions and their relationship with decimals and integers. This is built on in the future unit where pupils deepen their understanding of the arithmetic procedures involving fractions and integers.

In this unit, pupils will be asked to compare and order both fractions and decimals and will assess when conversion is required. Fluency in working with decimals and integers is an important skill which is developed in the prior unit.

This unit develops understanding and manipulation of fractions, including conversion between fractions to terminating and recurring decimals. Pupils then learn strategies to order fractions of increasing complexity.

Comparing and ordering fractions and decimals (positive and negative)

The {{ }} is the expression in a fraction that is written above the fraction line.

The {{ }} is the expression in a fraction that is written below the fraction line.

Order the steps to show how to convert $$\frac{11}{20}$$ to a decimal

In order to compare fractions and decimals, you must always convert them into the same form.

Order these values from smallest to largest.

A number is in decimal form when the decimal point is shown and there are digits to the {{ }} of the decimal point.

Select all the values that are greater than 0.3683
