Note: Students can prepare by creating their own numbers and practicing representing them in different forms. E.g. writing a fraction out of 1000 (45/1000 and converting it into a decimal = .045). They can also google search any of the above concepts with the word “grade 6 worksheet” or “grade 6 practice” after it, and find questions/practice sheets online. Please supervise students as they use the internet for these purposes.
