Task 2- reasoning and problem solving

Now that you have mastered the idea of the percentages, let’s try to really challenge you mathematicians.

Your turn: Pick a level that works for you. Try to challenge yourselves at home.

UPDATE: Thank you for the comments so far on the Google feedback form. I have saved the maths as PDFs as well so the layout should hopefully be ok if you are opening them from phones.

Thank you EL, AT, RB, EMF, JS, HH and EW for completing the quiz! I'm glad to hear you are finding it easy!

Great work mathematicians! I am pleased to see you all challenging yourselves to work on harder tasks! Way to go with doing the reasoning questions as well. Well done to JB and KP for completing multiple levels!

More maths work from EW and HC! Good reasoning skills!

The first method in the video we should use (making it an equivalent fraction out of 100).

Ex. 7/10 x 10= 70/100 = 70 %

If there are difficult problems than the second method could be used.

For today's work concentrate on the first method. Make equivalent fractions out of 100.

Task 1 – fluency

Your turn! There are three different levels for you to have a go!

Impressive maths from Year 6...again!! Well done! (Thursday)

EW- Great job at your reasoning questions! Double check your equivalent fractions and percentages. 4/8 = 50%

HC- Great job at ordering fractions, decimals and percentages today. Be sure to convert the fractions out of 10 or out of 100 first before getting the percentage.

29.01.21 - Friday

Happy Friday!! Last maths lesson for this week! Before we start, I'd just like to say a huge WELL DONE to all year 6 for being rockstars! You've all worked really hard and persevered as there was some tough challenges this week!

First warm up! Try the flashback 4

Today, we are going to learn about finding a percentage of an amount. This is usually seen in sales! A lot of stores will say 50% off or 25% off. But how do we know if those are good deals? Well, we learn about finding percentages of these amounts!

Percentages of amounts

Remember tos:

I can find 50% by halving the amount (dividing by 2).

I can find 25% by dividing by 4.

I can find 10% by dividing by 10.

I can find 1% by dividing by 100.

I can reason and solve problems with percentages of amounts.

Vocabulary

Percentages

Divide

Half
