Middle School Percentages Worksheets

Middle School Percentages Worksheets help students master one of the most practical math skills they'll use throughout their lives. Created by US curriculum experts, these resources support teachers and parents working with middle school students across grades 6, 7, and 8. The collection follows state standards to teach students percent conversion skills, starting from simple to advanced topics, including interest and reverse percentage problems. The worksheets divide complex multi-step problems into smaller workable sections, which follow student learning patterns for new mathematical concepts. Visual models that combine bar diagrams with tape diagrams enable people to grasp complex percentage connections by showing them through concrete visual elements. Students understand how percents link to their existing knowledge of fractions and decimals as they progress through the material. The structured method helps students progress from using visual aids during guided practice to solving problems independently with only numbers.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.

Why Are These Easy-to-Print PDF Percentages Worksheets Essential for Middle School?

Students apply percentage skills to compare options and make informed decisions in their daily lives. These worksheets demonstrate that calculating a discount, determining a tip, or understanding a sale price all rely on the same core methods. The collection begins with straightforward calculations and progresses to multi-step problems that mirror real-life shopping, saving, and spending scenarios. Early practice with visual models gives students a mental picture of what happens when a quantity increases or decreases by a percentage. Later worksheets introduce reverse percentage problems where students work backward from a final amount to find the original value. This progression prepares learners for high school topics like exponential growth, compound interest, and algebraic ratio problems.
