Converting Fractions and Decimals - Interactive Pixel
Make fraction–decimal conversions engaging with this interactive 8th-grade math worksheet that combines skill practice, instant feedback, and a fun pixel-art reveal game.
In this activity, students practice converting fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions, including both terminating and repeating decimals. As students enter correct answers, a hidden pixel image is gradually revealed, turning practice into a motivating game while keeping the focus on mathematical accuracy.
What Students Will Do
- Convert fractions into decimals
- Recognize and write repeating decimals using a clear stopping rule
- Convert decimals back into fractions in simplest form
- Identify whether a decimal is terminating or repeating
- Receive immediate feedback as they work
Correct answers unlock sections of a pixel image, giving students a sense of progress and accomplishment without distracting from the math.
Why Teachers Love This Worksheet

- ✅ Prevents copying while keeping grading consistent
- ✅ Works well for independent practice, homework, stations, or sub plans
- ✅ Clear rules for repeating decimals make auto-grading reliable
- ✅ Pixel art acts as a reward, not busywork
The worksheet is designed to balance engagement and rigor, making it ideal for middle school classrooms.
Grade Level & Standards
- Grade 8 Math
- Aligns with Common Core 8.NS standards
- Supports number system fluency and pre-algebra readiness
Perfect For
- 8th-grade math classes
- Review or reinforcement lessons
- Early finishers or math centers
- Digital classrooms and interactive learning environments
This worksheet turns a traditionally procedural topic into an engaging, student-friendly experience while maintaining strong mathematical foundations. A great addition to any fraction and decimal unit.
Learning Objective
Students will convert between fractions and decimals, correctly identifying terminating and repeating decimals, and represent repeating decimals using a consistent stopping rule.
Randomization Available
This worksheet supports randomization, meaning each student can receive different fractions and decimals while practicing the same skills. This helps prevent copying and encourages independent thinking.
💡 Tip: When assigning this activity to your classroom, you can optionally enable randomization to give each student a unique version of the problems. When you re-assign the same worksheet, each student will get a new set of questions, helping them master the content through repeated practice.
