Fascinating Fact:

Batteries on phones or tablets show power left as a percentage.

In KS2 Maths, Year 5 pupils explore percentages as another way of expressing parts of a whole. They connect percentages with fractions and decimals to solve real-life number problems.

  • Percentage: A way of expressing a number as parts out of 100, shown with the % symbol.
  • Fraction: A part of a whole, written with a numerator over a denominator.
  • Decimal: A number that uses a point to show parts of a whole, such as 0.5 for half.
What are percentages in Year 5 maths?

Percentages are numbers expressed as parts out of 100. For example, 25% means 25 out of every 100, which is the same as one quarter.

How do you change a fraction to a percentage?

To change a fraction to a percentage, divide the numerator by the denominator, then multiply the answer by 100. For example, 1/2 becomes 50%.

Where are percentages used in real life?

Percentages are used in sales discounts, test scores, battery life, and bank interest rates, making them useful in everyday decisions and problem-solving.
