Percentage
Connect percentages to fractions, find a percentage of a quantity, then follow problems where the whole changes.
Your child learns that percent means out of 100 and moves between percentages, fractions and decimals. Your child then finds a percentage of a quantity, expresses a part as a percentage and finds the whole from a part through 1%. The harder problems measure a change against the original amount and work a discount, then GST, each on its own 100%. Read the study guide →
