percentage increase and decrease

This has 2 short sections: 1 - percentage increase; and, 2 - percentage decrease.
The sheet is designed so that students graphically shade in the increase or decrease on a bar graph. Then do some basic percentage calculations.

The sheets will print as an A5 booklet that will easily be inserted into a workbook.
On screen, they are two A4 sheets - take them to a printer and select the A5 booklet option.

This has been used with students that are just learning about percentage increase/decrease or with lower attaining older students. Being able to see the change on the shaded section on a bar chart really helps students to see what is happening.
Use it as a quick ‘in lesson’ worksheet; it makes a good plenary activity or use it as a learning check following some teacher feedback.
