Percent Bingo: an online percent bingo game
A hundred grid, fraction or decimal is called; find the same percent on your bingo card. A free percent bingo game for any device. Grades 5–7.
🧒 Kids: Look at the grid, fraction or decimal. Find the same percent on your card and tap it. Fill a whole line to shout BINGO! 🎉
How to play
- Choose what is called (hundred grids, fractions or decimals), the time per call and whether calls are read aloud.
- Press Start bingo. Your card is a 4 by 4 grid of percents.
- A grid, fraction or decimal is called, like 3/4. Find 75% on your card and tap it before the timer runs out.
- A wrong tap shakes the square; try again. If time runs out, the answer is shown and a new call is made.
- A full row, column or diagonal is BINGO!
What your child practices
Every call has to be turned into a percent before it can be found on the card. That means reading hundred grids, changing fractions to percents and moving the decimal point, the core of 6.RP.A.3c. The cards mix close values such as 5%, 50% and 55%, so children must think about place value, not just digits.
Which setting to choose
| Setting | Example | Good for | Learn it first |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hundred grids | a grid with 8 squares shaded: find 8% | Grades 5–6 | what is a percent |
| Fractions | 3/20 is called: find 15% | Grade 6 | fraction to percent |
| Decimals | 0.48 is called: find 48% | Grade 6 | decimal to percent |
The grid setting gives a few extra seconds per call, because counting squares takes time. Counting whole columns first (each column is 10%) is much faster than counting single squares.
When your child gets bingo on Normal with no missed calls, try the fractions setting, or Percent Race for full speed.
Tips for parents
- Use “Relaxed” timing at first. Move to “Normal” when your child gets bingo with no missed calls.
- Turn on “Read calls aloud” to practice hearing fractions and decimals.
- Watch for 5% and 50% on the same card. Ask “how many hundredths?” if your child mixes them up.
- After bingo, read the missed calls together and explain each one.
In the classroom
Project the game and play as a class. The computer calls, children find the answer on their own paper bingo cards, and the board on screen keeps everyone honest. Or let pairs play on tablets.
