Convert fractions that cannot be written with a denominator that is a power of 10. Pupils use the definition of a fraction and long division to convert fractions to decimals, then discover that some divisions terminate and others continue indefinitely. The 14th installment of a 22-part series demonstrates the notation used for repeating decimals.
