Place Value Equivalence Posters: Benchmark Fractions

These posters support learners to better understand the concept of place value equivalence and benchmark fractions.

Benchmark fractions are commonly used as reference fractions for comparisons, such as one-half (50%, 0.5) or one-quarter (25%, 0.25). One-tenth (10%, 0.1) is introduced as a benchmark value for its relationship to the base-10 numbering system. It is important that students have a good understanding of equivalent representations of benchmark values.

Misconception: Students should understand that 0.5 = 1/2 and 0.5 is not 1/5.
