Capture the Squares - Reverse Percentage

Players draw lines to complete squares. Whoever draws the last line captures the square. The value of each square is hidden but an expression about the value of a percentage is given. Players use reverse percentages to work out the true value and strategise to capture the highest value squares.

This activity is good for practicing fluency in a fun and engaging way.

All reverse percentages in this worksheet are multiples of 5% and designed to be worked out without a calculator. All answers are integers but the values given are typically decimals so many students may find this quite challenging.
