Representing Percentages worksheet

The "Representing Percentages" worksheet, created by KS2Gems in 2022, is an educational resource designed to help Key Stage 2 students understand and visualise percentages through various representation methods. The learning objective (LO) of this worksheet is to enable students to depict percentages in multiple forms, enhancing their ability to interpret and work with percentages in different contexts. The worksheet incorporates a bar model, which is a visual tool that allows students to see percentages as parts of a whole in a clear and straightforward manner.

Additionally, the worksheet includes a circle model and a number line, which are alternative ways to represent percentages. The circle model, often resembling a pie chart, is particularly useful for showing percentages as sectors of a circle, helping students to visualise parts of a group. The number line, on the other hand, provides a linear representation of percentages, allowing students to see where a given percentage falls between 0% and 100%. These varied models cater to different learning styles and help reinforce the concept of percentages as parts of a hundred, a fundamental aspect of mathematical literacy.
