Convert a Percent to a Decimal or a Fraction

Do your students need additional practice writing percentages as decimals or fractions? This critical math skill is typically introduced in 6th grade but will be used in the real world. We use percents, decimals, and fractions when calculating discounts and when we tip a server at a restaurant, to name a few. Teach Starter has created a worksheet that your students can use to sharpen their skills of writing a percent as a decimal or a fraction.

With this worksheet, students will practice converting percentages to decimals and fractions. Students will answer 10 questions of each type and two word problems that put this skill into practice.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy! 

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:

• Guided math groups 
• Lesson warm-up
• Lesson wrap-up
• Fast finishers 
• Homework assignment
• Whole-class review (via smartboard)

If there are students who are early finishers, encourage them to create a list of when percentages are used in their daily lives.

For students who need additional support, encourage them to reference a poster or anchor chart to help convert from fraction to decimal to percent.
