About this skill
Currency varies by sheet (dollars, pounds, euros) so the same skill suits every country.
How to teach it
- Use a hundred grid first so percent looks like 'out of 100'.
- Build up from 10%, 50% and 25%.
- Check discounts by estimating.
Mistakes to watch for
- Writing 5% as 0.5 instead of 0.05.
