Look at these three labels on the board: 1/2, 0.5 and 50%.

Are they the same amount, or three different amounts? What is your first instinct?

The interactive shows a phone battery at different levels. Under each one, watch the three labels: the fraction, the decimal and the percent. One amount, three ways of writing it.

When we meet a fraction, we can also find its decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom number. We will do one together on the board, then check it on the battery.

The interactive shows a phone battery at four levels in fifths: 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5. Before each one, predict its percent, then we check it together. Notice the even steps between levels.

Before we start the matches, we will work one new amount together on the board: 1/100.

Watch how we turn it into a decimal and a percent the same way we have been doing: read it as hundredths, then the top number is the percent. One hundredth means 1 out of 100, so the decimal is 0.01 and the percent is 1%. That is the smallest slice on our table, just a sliver of battery.

Then we match one form to the missing two. We will work through these in order: given 0.5, then 0.25, then 3/4, then 10%, then 0.2, then 1/100. Set the battery so all three forms match. Use the worked example when you reach the last one.
