(2)
Powerpoint and worksheet comprising a whole lesson showing how to simplify fractions by dividing the numerator and denominator with common factors.

Equivalent Fractions

(1)
This powerpoint and worksheet show students how to create equivalent fractions by scaling up a simple fraction. Uses simple practical applications. Using real life data to see how 9 out of 10 scales up to 18 out of 20 and eventually 90 out of 100 thus also making a connection with percentages as special ‘out of 100’ fractions. Also the splitting of a whole into two fractions e.g. 9 out of 10 people being right-handed means 1 out of 10 people are left-handed. Percentages total 100%.

Percentages Multpliers
SkillsheetsSkillsheets

Percentages Multpliers

(0)
Three worksheets that explain how to calculate percentages of amounts by using multipliers e.g. 23% of £540 = 0.23 x 540. Two of the worksheets have duplicates using slightly different numbers so there are 5 pages in total including the answers. The questions ask students to use different methods to calculate percentages and check the answers are the same and to think about WHY the method works by showing that dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by ½. This topic usually skips by so quickly at school that many students miss it and are left perplexed when they are expected to understand how to do reverse percentage calculations. The next resource in the series is 'Percentages using Multipliers - Increasing and Decreasing '. DfE reference for GCSE 2017 R9 Please review this resource.

Puzzles about the MEAN
SkillsheetsSkillsheets

Puzzles about the MEAN

(2)
Three pairs of worksheets with answers that are designed to help students understand the use of the mean as an average when data is added or removed from the calculation. e.g. the mean weight of 5 people is 70 kg. Another person joins the group and the mean is now 71kg. How much did the sixth person weigh. A lot of students find it hard to see that if you know the mean of a set of numbers and how many numbers there are then you can find the TOTAL of all the numbers. These questions will make them think about how they can use this idea. GCSE DfE references S4, N2 For more resources like this please visit the SKILLSHEETS Shop
