Maths Unit: Percentages
This unit will introduce Year 5 students to percentages and their connections to decimals and fractions. By the end of the unit, students should be able to recognise that 100% represents a complete whole, use percentages to describe, represent and compare relative size and convert between percentages, decimals and fractions. The included worksheets, activities, games and assessment allow you to monitor and assess student progress throughout the unit.
