Eighteen matching questions on fraction and decimal pairs for Year 4 maths, in three sets. Pupils match halves, quarters and tenths first, then tell tenths from hundredths in pairs like 3/10 and 3/100, then take on trickier fractions such as 4/100 and 40/100. A final written question asks why 7/10 and 7/100 have different decimals. All answers are included. Covers two England National Curriculum decimal equivalence objectives.
Number - fractions (including decimals)
“Recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundredths”
Sets 2 and 3 push the tenths and hundredths distinction hard.
Number - fractions (including decimals)
“Recognise and write decimal equivalents to 1/4, 1/2, 3/4”
The first set covers the common benchmark fractions.
Six matches starting with 1/2 and 1/4.
Six matches separating pairs like 3/10 and 3/100.
Six matches including 4/100 and 40/100.
A written explanation of why 7/10 and 7/100 differ despite the same numerator.
Main activity
The three sets ramp up nicely within one lesson.
Misconception check
The 3/10 versus 3/100 pairs expose the classic place value slip.
Revision
A quick recap before decimals work later in the year.
