Read, model, calculate, check

Ask learners to identify what is known and what the question asks. A drawing, timeline or equation can make the relationship visible before they calculate. Check the answer against the original story and keep its unit.

The ready-made English downloads include practice alone or a separate answer key. The generator keeps the same questions in the preview and PDF, and a saved link reproduces the selected set.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Distinguish the whole, part and rate and use a consistent percentage relationship.

Worked example

A club has 240 members. Thirty-five percent join a trip. How many members join?

240 × 0.35 = 84 members.

The whole is 240 and the rate is 35 out of every 100. Multiply the whole by the decimal rate to find the part.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Label whole, part and rate before choosing a calculation.
  • Round only as the question requests.
  • For a missing whole, divide the part by the displayed decimal rate.
