This activity is part of the ‘Thinking About’ series.
It is designed to provide deep challenge to pupils in terms of their understanding of percentages.
It sets a problem in a work-based context and asks them to explain how they solve the problem. There is also the opportunity to manipulate familiar objects as part of solving the problem.
It is accessible in that pupils can attempt a solution to the problem, yet also challenging as the solution to the problem is not as straightforward as it seems for most pupils.
Many pupils will find percentages challenging and this activity is designed for those who you feel have mastered the idea that percentages involve a fraction out of 100.
