Adult Numeracy N2/L1.3

Recognise equivalencies between common fractions, percentages and decimals (e.g. 50% = 1/2 or 0.25 = 1/4) and use these to find part or whole-number quantities (a) Know common fraction equivalents, e.g. half, quarters, fifths, tenths.

This is a set of worksheets in a MS Excel workbook that deals with fractions.
- Sheet one: a set of pictures (pie charts) that shows fractions from halves to tenths
- Sheet two: equivalent fractions with two pie charts, learners can input fractions and see if they are equivalent by looking at the shape of the pie charts
- Sheet three: starting to look at fractions being equivalent to decimals with two pie charts one for fractions and one for decimals
