Objectives

Day 1

  • Understand percentage as ‘a number of parts per hundred’.

Day 2

  • Convert percentages to numbers of hundredths or tenths (as fractions and decimals) and vice versa.

Day 3

  • Use place value (division by 10 or 100), and multiplication, to find percentages of amounts,

e.g. 30% of £24 = (£24 ÷ 10) x 3

8% of 700kg = (700kg ÷ 100) x 8

Lesson Planning

Day 1
Revise short division, giving remainders as fractions.

Each student will need their copy of the Skill Drill Record Sheet [see below, to be printed for any new students/ lost sheets].

Do students need a reminder before you start or struggle once they’ve begun? Revisit the ‘remainders as fractions’ explanation from last time [See today’s PowerPoint Slide 14].

Day 2
Practise ‘percentage’ by interpreting shaded 100-grids. [PowerPoint Slide 2] Timed: 5mins

Don’t forget the Skill Drill Record Sheet.
