In this lesson, children use their knowledge of equivalent fractions and division skills to help them find a percentage of an amount. In this lesson the focus is on finding 10%, 1%, 50% and 25%. There is a teaching presentation and three levels of worksheets (working towards, expected and greater depth) with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem solving questions.
