Technology is really important in helping Year 9 students understand how to work with decimals and fractions. Here are some ways it can make a difference:

1. Seeing it Clearly: Tools like GeoGebra let students see how fractions and decimals connect. For example, it shows that $0.75$ is the same as the fraction $\frac{3}{4}$.

2. Fun Practice: Online games and quizzes can make learning way more enjoyable. Students can practice changing fractions into decimals using cool app challenges.

3. Quick Feedback: Students can get instant results on their work. They can check if adding $0.5 + 0.25 = 0.75$ is correct or if $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$ works out.

Technology not only makes learning more fun but also helps students build strong math skills. These skills are really important for tackling more complicated topics later on.
