What this worksheet covers
There are 72 percents problems here — one page to work, one page of answers to check against — and Sets B and C repeat the layout with different numbers. Within that, several problems use mixed numbers, which have to be handled without dropping the whole-number part and operands run to two decimal places, so the decimal points have to be lined up rather than the right-hand digits. Problems 25 and 49, for instance, are "Write 2/5 as a percent." and "Write 1/5 as a percent.". It is written against Common Core 6.RP.3 — Ratios & Proportional Relationships, grade 6.
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: percents, fractions and decimals and benchmark percents of a number. To finish it, a student has to work in fractional units and give the answer in lowest terms and keep the decimal points aligned. 58 different answers appear across the 72 problems, so a student cannot copy one result down the page.
About the timed drill format
The timer box at the top has room for minutes, seconds and a score out of 72; a realistic target for a page like this, where problem 25, "Write 2/5 as a percent." is a typical item, is four to five minutes. Conversions between percents, fractions and decimals are facts as much as procedures, and a timer tells you which are known.
Set A, Set B and Set C
All three sets are produced by the site's deterministic generator from a fixed seed, so they are the same every time the site is built and the answer keys are exact. Where Set A's problem 37 is "Write 0.7 as a percent.", Set B's is "Write 4/5 as a percent.".
How to use this worksheet
Work the 72 problems straight through, then check against the key together rather than handing it back marked; asking a grade 5 student to find their own percents error teaches more than seeing it circled. Keep the key face down until all 72 problems are finished, then go through the misses together rather than only totalling the score.
