Practice problems are super important for helping Year 7 students feel confident in switching between decimals and fractions. Here’s how they help:

1. Understanding Concepts: Doing practice problems regularly helps you get a better grip on decimals and fractions. For example, when you see $0.75$, turning it into a fraction (like $\frac{75}{100}$, which you can simplify to $\frac{3}{4}$) will start to feel easy.

2. Learning from Mistakes: Making mistakes is a normal part of learning. If you get stuck on a problem, looking back at where you went wrong can teach you things that schoolbooks might not explain.

3. Seeing Improvement: As you do more practice, it’s nice to notice how much quicker and better you’re getting. It’s like leveling up in a game—every time you get a conversion right, your confidence grows!

4. Different Types of Problems: Working on various problems (like word problems or mixed numbers) helps you get ready for real-life situations. It makes practicing fun and useful.

In the end, the more you practice, the more confident you will feel using these skills in your everyday life!
