Fraction-Decimal Equivalents
Recognise and write decimal equivalents of 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4
What a learner can do afterwards
- State that 1/2 = 0.5, 1/4 = 0.25, 3/4 = 0.75
- Match fractions to decimals in a sorting activity
- Explain why 1/4 = 25/100 = 0.25 using a hundredths grid

You already know how to write hundredths as decimals, like 0.47 for 47 hundredths. Some fractions turn into decimals you will see all the time: 1/2, 1/4, and 3/4.
A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of flour. Split the cup into 4 equal parts and shade 3 of them. Each part is 25 hundredths, so 3 parts make 75 hundredths: 3/4 = 0.75.
Learn these three by heart: 1/2 = 0.5, 1/4 = 0.25, 3/4 = 0.75. They show up everywhere, from money to recipes.
1/2, 1/4, and 3/4 always equal 0.5, 0.25, and 0.75.
