1) Watch this video:  a brief overview about percentages: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/znjqtfr/articles/z8ws3k7

2) Watch this video:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=JeVSmq1Nrpw watch until 4:03.  You don’t need to watch whole video as it will not be needed for this lesson.

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.

Tuesday

First warm up! Try the flashback 4!

Fractions to percentages

Today we are going to learn about converting fractions to percentages. 

Remember tos:

I can explain what equivalent fractions and percentages are.

I can recognise percentages and fractions in pictorial representations.

I can convert a fraction into a percentage by making equivalent fractions.

I can reason and problem solve with equivalent fractions and percentages.

Vocabulary

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!

Task 2- reasoning and problem solving 

Now that you have mastered converting fractions to percentages, let’s try to really challenge you mathematicians. There are three levels for you to choose.

27.01.21 - WEDNESDAY

Remember tos:

I can explain what equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages are.

I can recognise percentages, fractions and decimals in pictorial representations.

I can convert a fraction into a percentage by making equivalent fractions.

I can convert a fraction into a decimal by making an equivalent fraction of 10 or 100. 

I can convert a decimal into a percentage by multiplying by 100.

I can reason and solve problems with equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages.

WEDNESDAY QUIZ

Thank you RB, EW, AT, AG, IS, DB, SS and SA for completing today's maths quiz! Great work!

I have received some comments about needing more support with division and we will go over that next week. 

28.01.21 -  Thursday

First warm up! Try the flashback 4

Order fractions, decimals and percentages

Today, we are going to learn about ordering fractions, decimals and percentages. We will look at how to compare them and then how to put them in an order such as ascending (smallest to largest) or descending (largest to smallest).

Remember tos:

I can recognise percentages, fractions and decimals in pictorial representations.

I can convert a fraction into a percentage by making equivalent fractions.

I can convert a fraction and a percentage into a decimal by dividing.

I can order fractions, decimals and percentages by the size.

I can compare fractions, decimals and percentages.

I can reason and solve problems with ordering fractions, decimals and percentages.

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.
