About Percentages Colour by Number

Percentages Colour by Number makes finding a percentage of an amount feel like play. The page opens with a colour key linking each answer to a colour, then fills a grid with calculations such as finding a simple percentage of a number; the child works out each one and colours the cell with the matching colour, revealing a picture as they go. Finding percentages of amounts — like ten per cent, twenty-five per cent or fifty per cent of a quantity — is a core Grade 5 expectation across the US, UK, Canada and Australia and a genuinely useful real-life skill, from discounts to statistics. Pairing the calculation with colouring keeps the practice low-pressure and rewarding, and every cell quietly rehearses the method while the picture keeps motivation high. The five levels vary the percentages and amounts so the activity stays fresh, and the colour key uses a clear, limited palette. Each page prints cleanly on a standard A4 sheet — readable in black and white too — and every level downloads with its own answer key giving the answer and colour for every cell. There is no advertising, no sign-up and no data leaves the device. Use it for percentage practice or alongside our percentage games.
