The first main part of the lesson uses knowledge of equivalent fractions to convert fractions to decimals and percentages by converting to an equivalent fraction out of 100.
Pupils then learn to convert fractions to decimals and percentages through using short division, introducing recurring decimals.
Pupils then practice applying their new knowledge to ordering a mixture of fractions, decimals and percentages.
And finally pupils review their learning through Fractions decimals and percentages BINGO.

Print and laminate the Four in a Row boards for regular use. The boards were originally designed in A3 to work especially well with larger groups but you can scale it down to print in A4 if required or preferred. There are 6 game boards, two for each level of challenge, indicated with a star system, with one star being the least challenging. The one star version includes only unit fractions of small numbers. The two star version includes fractions of larger two-digit numbers, while the three star version progresses to fractions of three and four-digit numbers.
Students work strategically as pairs against pairs or one against one to get four correct answers in a row - horizontally, vertically or diagonally. They roll a dice each time to decide from which column to pick a calculation (the columns are numbered 1-6). If there are no calculations left in the column whose number they have rolled, they either skip a go or roll again (depending on the rules you choose). Student write their answers on the board with a dry-wipe marker. They can either use a different coloured marker to record answers on the board or add an initial or symbol if using the same colour as their opponent. Answer keys can also be printed for student checking.

Each player has a game card each. Players take it in turns to throw the dice. When the fraction on the dice matches up with one on their game card, they cover that fraction with a counter. The winner is the first person to cover up all of their fractions.
