What this worksheet covers
Set A of this grade 5 missing number sheet holds 24 percents problems on one printable page, with the answer key on the page behind it. Within that, the blank moves between positions from problem to problem, so no single procedure clears the page and the numbers run as high as 400. Two problems from the middle of the page — "75% of 100 = ___" and "40% of 300 = ___" — show the range. Common Core 6.RP.3 is the slot this page fills.
Skills practised
At grade 5, percents is about percents as fractions and decimals, and benchmark percents of a number, and this sheet takes one slice of that. The skills on the page: benchmark percents of a number and percents as hundredths. To finish it, a student has to reason backwards from a result to a missing part. 22 different answers appear across the 24 problems, so a student cannot copy one result down the page.
About the missing number format
The 24 problems here move the unknown around, so a student solves for a missing part as often as for a result; problem 9, "75% of 100 = ___" is one of them. Blanking the percent, the whole or the part gives the same relationship three different ways.
Set A, Set B and Set C
The three sets come from the same generator with three different seeds: same skill, same layout, fresh numbers, and an answer key computed with the problems. Where Set A's problem 13 is "15% of ___ = 15", Set B's is "___% of 20 = 1".
How to use this worksheet
Give this missing number uninterrupted. At grade 5, percents is where procedure and recall have to run at the same time, and 24 problems done in fragments hide which of the two is the problem. Mark the 24 problems the same day using the key — an error caught immediately is a correction, and one caught next week is a habit.
One mistake to watch for
The percent is used as a plain number: 20% of 50 is answered 1,000 or 70. Watch problem 17 of this missing number — "40% of 300 = ___" — for this one.
The percent sign is being read as decoration and the "per hundred" is lost.
Rewrite every percent as a fraction over 100 or a decimal before computing, for as long as it takes to become automatic.
