Fractions begin in Year 1 with halves and quarters. Decimals follow by Year 4, and by Year 5 students start converting between fractions, decimals and percentages. Year 7 consolidates the three forms before students apply them across the secondary years in ratio, probability and statistics.

Tutero’s lesson plans on fractions, decimals and percentages give a complete teaching sequence — equivalence, conversion, and real-world application — in one prep-light lesson.

The lesson connects fractions, decimals and percentages to situations students already understand: halving recipes, reading sale tags, splitting a bill, or comparing test scores. Each example anchors a different representation of the same number.
Each lesson plan includes enabling prompts for students still building fluency with fractions, decimals and percentages, and extending prompts for students ready to work with mixed numbers, recurring decimals and percentage change.

Tutero’s practice sets on fractions, decimals and percentages cover cooking measurements, shopping discounts and sports statistics so students see where each form is used in everyday life.

Introduction to Fractions
Students start with fractions as part of a whole, using visual models like pie charts, number lines and fraction blocks. They name and compare unit and non-unit fractions, then move to equivalent fractions. By Year 5, students add, subtract and find fractions of quantities in contexts like cooking, time and dividing groups.
Basic Concepts of Decimals
From a strong foundation in fractions, students move into decimals — first reading and writing tenths and hundredths, then converting between fractions and decimals using place-value charts. They use decimals with money, length and mass, and by Year 5 they add, subtract, multiply and divide decimals in word-problem contexts.
Understanding Percentages
Percentages are introduced as fractions out of one hundred, linked back to the hundred grid students used for decimals. They find percentages of quantities, compare data sets using percentages, and apply the skill to discounts, interest rates, statistics and survey results — the bridge into ratio, probability and proportional reasoning in secondary years.
