OCR Maths: Initial learning for GCSE - Check In Test 5.02 Direct and inverse proportion

A 10 question test on Direct and inverse proportion, comprising: 5 questions on procedural calculations; 3 questions on reasoning and communicating mathematically; and 2 problem solving questions. At the end of the test there is an extension activity which will allow more able students to stretch themselves.

The initial learning required for GCSE is based upon the subject content of the KS3 Mathematics programme of study and as such these resources could be used as a year 9 assessment, checking in to the GCSE topics. Likewise, they could be utilised as a recap tool with KS4 learners to introduce Foundation topics.

This resource is ideal for either formative or summative assessment and can be used in lesson time as a topic assessment, starter or plenary activity or for homework or revision.

Topics include:
Solve simple problems involving quantities in direct proportion including algebraic proportions.
e.g. using equality of ratios, currency conversion problems.
Solve simple word problems involving quantities in inverse proportion or simple algebraic proportions.
e.g. speed–time contexts (if speed is doubled, time is halved).
