Description

Percentage Trail is a companion activity to Use What You Know in that it involves children using known percentage facts to help calculate a range of different percentages. Unlike Use What You Know, each fact is initially derived from a single starting amount, but there are multiple ways in which the activity can be completed, depending on the strategies used by the children.
