Percentages made simple, Years 5 to 10

Percentages show up everywhere — test marks, discounts, interest, statistics. Once students see that "per cent" just means "out of 100," the whole topic clicks.

Understanding percentages

Most percentage confusion comes from jumping between fractions, decimals and percentages without seeing they are three ways of writing the same thing. Claritute makes that connection visual and explicit, so converting between them stops being guesswork.

From there the lessons build the practical skills — finding a percentage of an amount, percentage increase and decrease, and discounts — each with worked examples and the chance to try it. It is aligned to the NSW Stage 3–5 outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

Why do students get percentages wrong?

Usually because the link between fractions, decimals and percentages was never made concrete, so each problem feels brand new. Claritute teaches them as one connected idea, then drills the practical applications.

When are percentages taught in NSW?

They begin in upper primary (Years 5–6) alongside fractions and decimals, and continue through high school into financial maths — interest, discounts and GST. Claritute covers the full path.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 7 days free with full access. After that it is $25 a month for the whole Years 3–10 library.
