This collection of 14 worksheets will help students to visualise the relationships between percentages, decimals and fractions better by shading diagrams to represent particular percentages. There is progression from the simple pages where percentages are introduced as fractions ‘out of 100’ to including the decimal equivalent and eventually relating fifths and fractions like 13/25 to percentages. The sheets are useful for short bursts of revision and reinforcement or extension. They are suitable for younger students meeting percentages for the first time and for older children who need reminders and visual reminders of why 1/4 = 25%. There is plenty of repetition so one sheet could be done in class and the paired version used for homework. DfE reference for GCSE 9-1 R9, R3, N2, N10 Please review this resource.

These 8 worksheets provide a framework for getting students to see that completing the square for a quadratic function will enable them to sketch the graph of a quadratic function quickly. The connection between graph transformations and the form of the equation is key to completing the sheets. Each worksheet practises a different skill - give the transformation from the equation or work out the transformation from the equation. Two of the worksheets also practise the connection with function notation. This is a topic that students can find difficult even at A-level so the worksheets are useful for Higher tier GCSE and C1/C3 A-level modules. Use for extra reinforcement of classroom work or revision. GCSE 2017 DfE references A11, A12, A13 The answers are provided. For more resources like this please visit the SKILLSHEETS Shop

10 worksheets containing linear equations that get progressively harder for extra practice or revision. The unknown appears on both sides of the equations.

Students are asked to check their answers for the first worksheets by putting the solution into both sides of the original equation to make sure it works out the same. The answers and working out are included. GCSE from 2017 references A17, A3, A2, A1, N3, N2 For more resources like this please visit the SKILLSHEETS Shop
