Task goals
- Write one quantity as a percentage of another by dividing the part by the whole and multiplying by 100.
- Convert units (mL/L, minutes/hours, g/kg) so the part and whole are in the same unit before forming the percentage.
- Read a proportion number line (an arbitrary total scaled against 0-100%) to find a missing quantity or percentage label.
- Work backwards from a percentage and either the total or the part to find the missing value.
- Recognise that two differently-sized quantities can simplify to the same percentage (equivalent ratios).
- Apply forming-percentages to multi-step, real-world contexts, including successive changes to a starting quantity.
