Looking for Percent Games?

Are you looking for a fun way for your students to practice matching a percentage to a grid model or a fraction?

Introducing our exciting Percent Bingo game, perfect for students who want to practise their maths skills in a fun and engaging way! With 25 bingo boards and 24 calling cards, this game is perfect for groups of any size.

Each bingo board contains a unique selection of grid models and fractions. The calling cards feature corresponding percentages, so players can work on converting between different representations of the same value.

To play, simply call out the percentage on the calling card and players can match it to the corresponding value on their bingo board. The first person to match five values in a row, whether horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, is the winner!

Through this activity, students will show they can find a matching percent model or equivalent fraction for a given percentage.

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding
