In this clip we show that percentages are amounts out of 100, which may simplify to an equivalent fraction. Division by 100 is used to convert percentages to decimals. Equivalent fractions and place value denominators are used to convert between decimals and fractions. The concept of a recurring decimal is also introduced. This clip is from the BBC series Kick Sum Maths. The best fun anyone can have learning maths! It’s a mixed-media mash-up maths sketch show delivering KS2 maths. Each subject flows seamlessly from one teaching point to the next, using animation, puppetry, live action and visual effects to bring maths to life in a whole new way. It has an anarchic, dangerous look and feel, captivating children from the outset and engaging them all the way through the clearly explained maths. Topics covered include prime numbers, finding factor pairs, shapes and angles, perimeter and area, scale and coordinates, pie charts, fractions and decimals, percentages, the order of operations and an introduction to algebra.
