Converting Rational Numbers Worksheets for 7th Grade
Convert rational numbers between fractions, decimals, and percents.
About Converting Rational Numbers
Rational Numbers extends arithmetic to the full set of positive and negative fractions and decimals. Students learn to add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers and rational numbers, apply these operations in word problems, and convert fluently among fractions, decimals, and percents. This unit completes the number skills needed for all of algebra.
The ability to move fluently among fractions, decimals, and percents is one of the hallmarks of number sense. It lets students choose the most convenient form for computation and comparison in any situation.
What Your Child Will Learn
- Convert fractions to decimals by dividing numerator by denominator
- Identify repeating and terminating decimals
- Express a decimal as a fraction and convert any form to a percent
- Recognize when a fraction will produce a repeating versus terminating decimal
- Order a mixed list of fractions, decimals, and percents on a number line

Tips for Parents & Teachers
Integer operations are counterintuitive at first. Spend extra time on the rules for multiplying negatives before moving on.
Use number line models for adding and subtracting integers — seeing the movement makes the rules feel logical rather than arbitrary.
For word problems, encourage your student to write a number sentence before calculating.
Rational number arithmetic requires fraction fluency — if your student struggles, review fraction addition and subtraction from earlier grades.
