Converting Repeating Decimals to Fractions WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 8th Grade
CCSS: 8.NS.A.1
CCSS Description: Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number.
Converting Repeating Decimals to Fractions WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet is all about recurring decimals without using the algebraic method.
Section A starts with a match up of ninths and their decimal equivalents and encourages students to notice any patterns. This pattern spotting is continued in section B, as students are able to use an example given to find recurring decimal equivalents of fractions with 99 or 999 as the denominator. Section B pushes students further. Here, learners are given two examples of the conversions where the fraction denominators are 90 and 990 and asked to find further equivalences like this.
