Year 6 fractions, decimals and percentages lesson pack | Spring Block 4: Week 7
This Year 6 fractions, decimals and percentages lesson pack supports pupils in building secure links between fractions, decimals and percentages through clear visual representations and structured reasoning. Across the week, pupils explore decimal and fraction equivalents, interpret fractions as division, and develop a stronger understanding of percentages as parts per 100.
Lessons progress from using bar models, hundred squares and place value counters to applying efficient methods for converting between forms. Pupils practise simplifying fractions to support conversion, identifying recurring decimals through division, and comparing values represented in different ways. The week ends with pupils converting between fractions, decimals and percentages fluently and explaining their thinking through problem-solving challenges.
