Equivalent means equal to. So in this matching game you just have to match the pairs of equal fractions, eg ½ = 2/4 , or 3/9 = 1/3

Do you think you are ready to start studying Numeracy at Entry Level 2 in either Functional Skills or Adult Numeracy? If so have a go at this self assessment. If you get more than 50% right, then you probably should be in an Entry 3 class. This decision will be up to your teacher- this assessment is purely for your own benefit as it would be possible to do it lots of times and learn the answers without learning the maths! If you get a score above 80% you are probably ready to try some practice tests. Ask you teacher to help you find these. If you score less than 50% don’t despair- try the Entry 1 self assessment.

To complete this quiz you need to be able to order decimals. Here is an example to help you.
Which is bigger, 0.3 or 0.25?
Ever so many people make the mistake of saying 0.25 is bigger because 25 is bigger than 3. This is very wrong!
Remember the place value of decimals.
0.3 means three tenths.
0.25 means 2 tenths and 5 hundredths.
Three tenths is bigger than 2 tenths, so 0.3 is bigger.

Converting between decimals and fractions
Thanks to John Ford for this quiz.
You need to be able to convert fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions.
To convert a fraction to a decimal divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).
eg 3/4
3÷4 = 0.75
To change a decimal to a fraction think what place value the number on the right hand side has.
eg 0.45
The 5 is in the hundredths column, so the denominator will be 100.
The numerator is 45
So 0.45 = 45/100
This cancels down as both numbers divide by 5.
45/100 = 9/20

A factor is a number that divides into another number without a remainder. So the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5 and 15.
The multiples of 4 are all the numbers in the 4 times table. 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32……..
A prime number is special because it only has 2 factors. These two factors are always 1 and the number itself. So 7 is a prime number because the factors of 7 are 1 and 7.

Practice rounding numbers to the nearest 100.
The trick is to look at the tens column. If this is 5 or more, round up. If it is less then 5 the hundreds column stays the same.
So 439 rounds to 400, but 459 rounds up to 500
