Decimals to fractions: a worked example (0.35)
- 0.35 has 2 decimal places, so it is 35 hundredths: 35/100.
- Both 35 and 100 divide by 5.
- 35/100 = 7/20.
How to use it at home and in class
At home
Say each decimal aloud the place-value way before writing it: “thirty-five hundredths” turns straight into 35/100. Then simplify by trying 2, 5, 4 and 25, the factors of 10, 100 and 1,000. Ten problems a day works better than a whole sheet at once. Mark them together with the answer key, then ask your child to explain one they got wrong: finding the mistake themselves is where the learning happens.
In class
Use the first row as a warm-up, a full page for independent practice, or five questions as an exit ticket. For a retake or a second group, make a new version with the test maker so every child gets different numbers.
Mistakes to watch for
- Using the wrong bottom number, like 35/10 for 0.35.
- Leaving the fraction unsimplified, like 50/100 instead of 1/2.
What to practice before and after decimals to fractions
- Before: dividing decimals. If this sheet is a struggle, go back a step.
- After: decimal word problems, once this one is mostly right.
- Learn it first: the decimals to fractions lesson and the decimals chart.
