Multipliers

This resource is for KS4 students and KS3 students who will eventually be doing the Higher paper. The purpose of the resource is to link finding a percentage of an amount to using multipliers when calculating percentage changes. The resource does not consider reverse percentages or repeated percentage changes which are available in resources entitled ‘Reverse Percentages’, ‘Repeat Percentages’ and ‘Repeated Reverse Percentages’.

The resource consists of a presentation and a worksheet.

The lesson consists of four stages: using a multiplier to find the percentage of an amount; using multipliers to find the final value after a percentage increase; using multipliers to find the final value after a percentage decrease; using multipliers to find the percentage change given initial and final values.
