By the end of this unit, students will:
- convert a fraction to a percentage by using fraction equivalence with 100 as the denominator;
- convert a fraction to a percentage by writing one quantity as a percentage of the other;
- apply these skills to solve real-world problems.
Curriculum Alignment: Key Stage 3: Number
- work interchangeably with terminating decimals and their corresponding fractions (such as 3.5 and
or 0.375 and

- interpret fractions and percentages as operators
