What are percentages in Year 6 maths?

Percentages are numbers out of 100. Year 6 pupils learn to calculate percentages of amounts, solve problems, and link them with fractions and decimals.

Percentages are used for discounts, test results, interest rates, weather forecasts, and data comparisons, making them important for everyday decisions and problem-solving.
