Throughout these chapters, pupils see how their work with decimals and fractions connects with the concept of percentages.
Pupils will become increasingly aware of percentages through experience of them in their daily lives. They will appreciate that fractions, decimals and percentages are simply different ways of expressing proportions and make connections between all three of them. They will also see that percentages are most frequently used to express proportions.

In this chapter, pupils learn that the concept of per cent relates to the number of parts per hundred.
Pupils are formally introduced to the symbol for per cent (%) and understand that it refers to the number of parts per hundred. They make connections between percentages, fractions and decimals, and go on to write percentages as both a decimal and as a fraction with a denominator of 100.
Through the manipulation of objects and the drawing of diagrams, pupils learn that 100% represents a whole quantity. They know that 1% is1⁄100 , 50% is 50⁄100 and 25% is25⁄100 and relate this to finding fractions of amounts.
Pupils go on to solve problems using their knowledge of percentages and the decimal equivalents of 1⁄2, 1⁄4, 1⁄5, 2⁄5, 4⁄5.
In this chapter, pupils use the equivalence between fractions, decimals and percentages.
As a result of their growing fluency in calculating with fractions and decimals, pupils recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages.
By converting proportions expressed in percentages to either fractions or decimals, pupils solve a range of percentage problems in mathematical and real-life contexts.
