Percentages are everywhere you look, and students need to know how to convert a percent to fraction or a fraction to percent readily. A great resource for being understanding how a percentage relates to its corresponding fraction is the percentage calculator at DadsWorksheets.com...


This percentage calculator allows you to enter either a fraction or a percentage, and it instantly calculates the other value for you. It also shows a pie-chart representation of what the percentage actually represents out of a whole value.


There is a useful section that provides wording for percentages that answer questions like how many parts out of a whole equal a certain percentage or what a particular percentage is out of a number. By experimenting with the values you enter into the percentage calculator and seeing what results, you'll develop a great conceptual understanding of percentages. It's a great tool and a great way to check your answers on percentage worksheets as well!
