Fascinating Fact:

Weather forecasts use percentages to show the chance of rain, such as 80 percent meaning it is very likely.

In KS2 Maths, Year 6 pupils build strong percentage skills. They practise converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages while applying this knowledge to everyday problems like discounts and probability.

Key Terms

  • Percentage: A number expressed as parts of 100, written with the % symbol.
  • Ratio: A comparison showing how one number relates to another.
  • Conversion: Changing a value from one form, such as a fraction, into another, like a percentage.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

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.

How do you find a percentage of a number?

To find a percentage, divide the number by 100, then multiply by the percentage value. For example, 25% of 200 is 200 ÷ 100 × 25 = 50.

Why are percentages useful in real life?

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