A basic worksheet to help my Year 9s understand that just because 12 parts of a shape are shaded, that doesn’t necessarily mean 12% of the shape is shaded! I got my class to first of all determine the fraction shaded, and then change the denominator to 100 to determine the percentage shaded.
It comes in 2 parts - in the first part, the denominators of the fractions multiply easily up to 100. In the second part, they don’t, e.g. 24/40, so they need to be simplified first.

A basic worksheet that covers all the content on Exact Trigonometric Values required at GCSE level.
It mostly contains basic SOH CAH TOA questions, but there are a couple of multi-step problems and a few questions that involve manipulating surds.
Solutions provided.
A short matching task on the Area of a Circle in terms of Pi. Students calculate the area of each circle, and cross off the answer in the grid at the bottom. It will probably take your students only 5 minutes to complete!
Task is available as a pdf or as a powerpoint, in case you want to make any changes.
In each block of the maze, students are given a value and a percentage they should increase it by. An answer is given (the large number in each block). Students try to find a way through the maze, left to right, that only goes through correct answers (moving diagonally is not allowed!).
Solutions provided.
A Bronze, Silver, Gold differentiated resource. Students are given a variety of fractions, decimals and percentages which they must place into a square grid, ensuring that every row and column is in ascending order. This hopefully makes quite a dull topic a little more interesting!
There are multiple solutions to the puzzles, but I have provided one possible answer to each puzzle. However, to make the puzzles work, the smallest value must go in the top left box, and the largest value must go in the bottom right box.
