Description

Magic 10% is a fairly well-established piece of mathematical understanding, where children use their knowledge of 10% of a given number to find any other simple percentage fact. Although the strategy of ‘Magic 10%’ is used regularly, it can be turned into a game-based activity using place value dice, Target Boards or Factor Cards / multiple of 10 cards.
