This resource is FREE, and it allows the teacher to transition from proper fractions to EQUIVALENT decimals and percentages. It ties that progression together in an equivalency. It also adds the pictorial understanding of all three math elements with a shading of a 100 block. If these type of resources are not used, students do NOT connect the math elements and they view percentages or decimals or fractions as separate entities when they are all the same thing in just a different form.
