Maths: Percentages

 Learning objective: I can use percentages to compare

This week the children looked at finding percentages of change. The children used bar models to help their understanding of percentages.

The children really impressed throughout this week with their understanding of equivalent fractions, percentages and decimals and how this can help us.

As you can see in one of the pictures below (three problem solving questions) the child has had to find missing values of percentages, thinking about a question they could ask in relation to the bar model and working out worded problem. They’ve aced all of them 😊

Once this was understood, the children identified the latitude and longitude for different places on the world map.
