Maths Help - Finding the Full Amount

Hi 5th Class,

Just a little post that might help with your understanding of "Finding the Full Amount when given a percent", which is on Pg. 123 of your Busy at Maths.
I have picked out a few of those questions and made 3 live board videos (attached below) - questions 2, 6, and 4 (Try watch in that order). They might help you with how to solve the questions assigned!

Here is a little video on Khan Academy to help with changing fractions into percentages. The activities to follow are quite hard as they use algebra (which we don't use just yet!). Don't get too bogged down with this video.. if you understand my videos, that's great!

And a game that will help practise those skills! :)

Whoops, I said this post would be "little"! If you are stuck on anything else in your Maths, as always - please email! :)
