Percentages - Missing Values Lesson

This Year 6 Percentages Missing Values lesson covers the prior learning of finding percentages of an amount, before moving onto the main skill of finding missing values or percentages when other values are given.

The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.
