New Specification (2021) Legacy specification ppt can be accessed here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12626371 To be used alongside Student Booklet (see link for free pdf below) The aim of this unit is to develop an understanding of some of the basic principles around personal money management. Personal debt is a growing concern and understanding some of the basic principles when working out take home pay and budgeting principles for a household income helps develop an understanding of the value of money. Updated to include definitions of the National Minimum Wage and the National Living Wage.

A 28 slide PowerPoint that provides examples of CAT4 assessment tasks and answers. CAT4 assessments consist of verbal reasoning – thinking with words; quantitative reasoning – thinking with numbers; non-verbal reasoning – thinking with shapes and spatial ability – thinking with shape and space. Many schools use CAT4 to provide ‘predictions’ for GCSE results. Four sets of practice assessment questions are provided plus additional questions. These questions should be practiced by students so they understand the patterns and inner logic of the four reasoning areas away from the pressure of sitting at a computer with the assessment about to begin, and the clock about to count down. A free pdf is available and can be downloaded here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12785220

A 46 slide PowerPoint that introduces or utilises many mathematical concepts. Mainly for post-primary settings but elements could be used in primary. A free pdf can be downloaded here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12555186 There is at least a months material for lessons and will be useful for revision classes or an introduction to the concepts involved. Please review it if you download it and do put it to good use. The PowerPoint allows the teacher to introduce the key ideas to students via animated slides. Most of the ideas are easier to access through animation and slow reveal. There are answers for most problems in the slides notes. These are the concepts covered: Match Combinations: generalisations, combinations, multiplicative reasoning Two-way grids: preparation for simultaneous equations Comparing texts: data handling, sample sizes, mode, range Direction and distance: compass directions, left and right directions, absolute, relative Rectangle: area, perimeter, asymptotes Square patterns: 1. multiplicative reasoning, graphs, tables, algebraic manipulation, sequences, linear, quadratic Dissecting a square/rectangle: tangram, square, parallelogram, triangle, proportion, percentages Problems about perimeter and area: area, perimeter Ratio and proportion mystery: percentages, ratio, proportion, average (mean) House swap: interpreting distance-time graph Probability mystery: probability, card sort Fractions mystery: fractions, card sort Venn diagrams: factors, multiples, prime numbers Broken window: logic Shikaku: introduction and development Three problems: algebraic reasoning Logic puzzle: introduction to this type of reasoning What’s it worth?: preparation for simultaneous equations Wacky races: ordinal and time logic puzzle, card sort Sudoku Znorlian: binary, sequences, card sort Roofs: algebraic reasoning Antidotes: ratio, percentages, fractions Percentage paradox: introduction to Simpson’s paradox Probability investigation: tally table, sequence of outcomes Card trick: binary, base 2 place value headings
