NA4-5: Know the equivalent decimal and percentage forms for everyday fractions.

The Ministry is migrating nzmaths content to Tāhurangi.           
Relevant and up-to-date teaching resources are being moved to Tāhūrangi (tahurangi.education.govt.nz). 
When all identified resources have been successfully moved, this website will close. We expect this to be in June 2024. 
e-ako maths, e-ako Pāngarau, and e-ako PLD 360 will continue to be available.

Elaboration on this Achievement Objective

This means students will understand decimals and percentages as equivalent fractions, for example 3/8 = 375/1000 = 0.375 and 3/8 = 37.5/100 = 37.5%. They should know the fractions for halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, eighths, and tenths as decimals and percentages and be able to convert these decimals and percentages back to their simplest fraction form, for example 0.8 = 4/5. The fractions required also include those greater than one, for example 240% = 2.4 = 12/5.
