recognise terminating and recurring decimals, using digital tools as appropriate

Elaborations

• AC9M8N03_E1 - identifying when a fraction has a terminating decimal expansion from the prime factorisation of its denominator; for example, \(\frac7{24}\;=\;0.291\overset\_6\) does not have a terminating decimal expansion, while \(\frac7{25}\;=\;0.28\) does
• AC9M8N03_E2 - identifying terminating, recurring and non-terminating decimals and choosing their appropriate representations such as \(\frac13\) is represented as \(0.\overset\_3\)

Achievement Standard Components

• ASMAT801 - By the end of Year 8, students recognise irrational numbers and terminating or recurring decimals.
