Complete the activities in this book at your own pace. Pages 101- 104 are revision of skills you have already been using at home.

Page 105 introduces finding a percentage of a given number.

Example: Find 50% of 300.

50 % is the same as ½

Find ½ of 300. (divide by the bottom, multiply by the top)

300 ÷ 2 = 150

50% of 300 is 150.

Check seesaw for further examples.

Tips to remember:

Percentage means OUT OF 100.
A percentage is another way of showing a fraction or a decimal.
1% is the same as one hundredth
10% is the same as ten hundredths or one tenth

100% is the same as one hundred hundredths or one full unit.
A fraction must be converted to hundredths and then changed to a %.

Answers to Last Week’s Maths Questions

. Change these decimals to percentages: eg 0.58 =58%

a) 0.35 =35%b) 0.78= 78% c) 0.42 = 42% d) 0.15 = 15% e) 0.90 = 90% f)0.07 =7%

g) 0.12=12%h) 0.09 =9% i) 0.60 =60% j) 0.44 =44% k) 0.68= 68% l) 0.74=74%

Change these percentages to decimals:eg 40% = 0.40

a) 35%=35b) 75% = 0.75 c) 90%= 0.90 d) 40% = 0.40 e) 88 %= 0.88 f) 25%= 0.25
g) 20%=20h)55%= 0.55 i) 36%= 0.36 j) 78%= 0.78 k) 63%= 0.63 l) 15%= 0.15
Change these percentages to fractions: 31% =31/100
a) 27% =27/100b) 57% = 57/100 c) 63% = 63/100 d) 47% = 47/100 e) 87 % = 87/100 f) 91 % = 91/100

Sometimes the fractions can be broken down again to lowest terms eg 25% = 25/100 =1/4 and 40%=40/100 = 4/10 =2/5

g) 0.75 = /100 = 75/100=3/4h) 30% = 30/100= 3/10 i) 80% = 80/100= 8/10= 4/5 j) 50%= 50/100= 1/2 k) 20%= 20/100= 2/10= 1/5 l) 60%= 60/100=6/10=3/5

a) 15%= b) 19%= c) 35%=

d) 56%= e) 87%=f )9%=

3) Change these decimals to percentages and then to fractions in lowest terms.

Example: 0.4= 40% =40/100 = 4/10=2/5 0.75=75% =75/100 = ¾

a) 0.50 = b) 0.60= c) 0.1=

Poetry:

Read the following poem and complete the following activities:

School Daze

On a warm summer’s day,

I dream of the beach,

Instead of school,

Where teachers teach.

Riding down the crest of a wave,

Not in class, where ____________ misbehaves.

Riding along,

The pipline sweet,

Glued to the board,

By huge plates of meat.

The brilliant sunlight,

Keeps me warm,

As I speed along,

The curling form.

Just as I’m about to reach the land,

There comes a sound I know and understand.

“Wake up! And don’t swing on that chair!”

The teacher has come from out of nowhere!

By Gary Kay.

What is happening in the poem?
Write down things you like to daydream about.
Draw the dream from the poem. Create a vivid image.
Draw a dream you had recently.
Why do you think people daydream?
