Conversion Matching Maze
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Conversion Matching Maze" is written for 8th Grade (Ages 13-14). A 7th grader who is already steady on percents can use it too, and an older student can use it as a short review.
8th grade math worksheet: follow a 12 step maze of equal percents, fractions and decimals, matching values like 0.72 and 18/25. Answer key included. Part of our fractions, decimals and percents collection.
How do I use this worksheet?
Start with the two conversion sheets, then use the conversion table to check that students can work from any form. The maze and number line sheets make a quick review before the comparing sheets.
What students will practice
- Students will match each decimal to an equal percent or fraction.
- Students will move through a grid of values one touching cell at a time.
- Students will check each step because only one path reaches Finish.

Move to the touching cell (up, down, left or right) whose top value is equal to the bottom value of your cell. Shade it, then use its bottom value. Keep going for 12 steps until you reach Finish. The page opens with a worked example, and an answer key is included.
Can I use this fractions, decimals and percents worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 8th grade percents, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
How do you convert a percent to a fraction and a decimal?
⌄
Write the percent over 100 and simplify, then move the decimal point two places to the left. So 26% = 26/100 = 13/50, and 26% = 0.26. Convert Percents to Fractions and Decimals practices 16 of these.
How do you write a fraction as a percent?
⌄
Divide the numerator by the denominator, then multiply the decimal by 100. For 2/9, 2 ÷ 9 is about 0.222, or about 22.2%. Convert Fractions to Percents and Decimals rounds repeating decimals this way.
How do you compare a fraction and a percent?
⌄
Change both values to the same form first. Since 17/40 = 42.5%, it is greater than 42%. Compare Percents, Fractions and Decimals has 16 pairs to compare with <, > or =.
