3 Minute Maths - Percentages
Learn maths in simple, easy to understand chunks that you can build together and apply to real-life situations
This is a complete set of lessons made for students of any level and any age to learn all about percentages.
I start by looking at how to find 10% of a number, and then lead onto finding 20%, 5%, 1%, 2%, 50% and 25%. Then, using all we've learnt, I show you how to find any percentage, even those containing decimals.
You'll also learn how to carry out percentage increases, percentage decreases and how to work out reverse percentages, all in your head or on a calculator.
Each lesson is kept short and simple, so that even the busiest student can learn. All you have to do is watch one three-minute lesson a day, and you'll be amazed at how much you pick up and remember.

Hello, bonjour, hola, hallo, ciao and olá!
I’m Kieran and I’m a language tutor based in the UK, and I also create online courses and write books to make language learning accessible to all.
My books and online courses are based on the methodology I developed for teaching languages, which I've been using in all my classes for many years. The methodology will get you speaking quickly, without the struggle normally associated with language learning.
