Decimals and Percentages
By Year 6, children work confidently with decimals to three places. They say what each digit is worth, multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000, multiply a decimal by a whole number, and carry out written division that gives a decimal answer.
Practise Decimals and Percentages
Have a guess, even if you're not sure. Get one wrong and we'll show you why, so every miss is a chance to learn.
Timed practice
The same practice, just with a gentle clock. Pick a length and see how many you can answer.
They also turn a fraction into its decimal, round numbers to a sensible degree of accuracy, and switch easily between fractions, decimals and percentages. From there they find a percentage of an amount and tackle percentage problems, including working out a percentage change.
The questions are free and multiple choice, with no account to set up. A gentle hint appears whenever an answer needs a nudge, feedback is instant, and it all runs in any web browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
