Equivalent fractions - Two fractions are equivalent if they have the same value.
A single digit percentage is incorrectly worked out by dividing by 10 and not 100 e.g 3% = 0.3
Two responses can be used to remind students that to covert a percentage into a decimal; we divide by 100; using 3%, ask what 30% is as a decimal and 3% as a decimal. Pupils realise they cannot be the same. A place value chart also helps.
