What if pupils find this a barrier?
Help pupils make connections between finding simple percentages of whole-number quantities by using a spider diagram.
Ask pupils to write, for example, 52 = 100% in the middle of a piece of paper and then link together other percentages that they can find (e.g. 26 = 50%, 13 = 25%, 5.2 = 10%, etc.).
Use the visual image of the Number Grid ITP - Zip file (462Kb) to discuss parts in every 100.
Use Fractions ITP - Zip file (457Kb) with the percentages shown.
