New! Year 5 Percentages
In Year 5, children learn to recognise the percent symbol (%) and understand that per cent relates to 'number of parts per hundred'. They need to write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100 and also as a decimal fraction. For example: they might be shown 20% and asked to write this as 20/100 and 0.2.
A 100 square is a great starting point to help with understanding percentages and we have just published two new sets of worksheets for children to recognise and represent percentages on a 100 square.
