The topic “Percentages with and without visual support” appears in the Key Stage 2 Mathematics curriculum, specifically Year 5 and Year 6 under the Domain: Number – Fractions (including decimals and percentages)

According to the National Curriculum for England, pupils should:
Year 5: Recognise the percent symbol (%) and understand that percentages are a number out of 100.
Year 6: Associate a fraction with division and calculate percentages of whole numbers.

Percentage Bar Graphs provide visual support to help introduce percentages in an informal way by building on the equivalence of 50%, 25% & 75% and their fractions 1/2, 1/4 & 3/4 plus the knowledge that 10% =1/10 and 1/10th of any multiple of 10 or 100 can easily be found by removing the last zero of the number.
From this starting point pupils can then proceed to calculate multiples of 5% or 1% of quantities.

The Worksheets and Teaching Pages are set at 5 levels

1. 10%, 25%, 50%, & 75% of multiples of 100
2. 10%,20%,30% …90%, of multiples of 10
3. 10%,20%,30% …90% of multiples of 100
4. 5%,10%,15% … 95% of multiples of 10
5. Any percentage of multiples of 100

Answers will always be whole numbers.

The Worksheets are Dynamic and the Teaching Pages Interactive so that at the click of a button the percentages and quantities are randomised providing endless opportunities to practice at each and every level.
