Interactive math tool
Percentage Bar Visualizer
Interactive percentage tool linking percents, fractions, and decimals — ideal for early percent lessons.
A percent is “parts per hundred.” Bar models put 45%, 1/2, and 0.5 on one visual scale.
How it works
- Open the percentage scene.
- Adjust the percent and watch the bar fill.
- Compare fraction and decimal forms.
- Connect to discounts and accuracy rates.
Real-world tip
Use an 80% quiz score or a 50% sale to stress that percents are relative amounts.
