Watch the video here for a quick tutorial on how to use these resources

There is a teaching resource designed to be used on an Interactive Whiteboard or on a PC or Mac for one-to-one tuition.

This is accompanied by a set of differentiated worksheets.

Pupils are asked to share a quantity in a given ratio. A bar of the correct number of parts is created and pupils can either color in the bar in the ratio given and / or calculate the amount to go in each part.

Another set of questions is based on being given the ratio & one of the final answers with the aim to find the initial quantity.

For added differentiation the totals to be shared are:
Level 1: Under 100
Level 2: to 1000 in multiples of 10
Level 3: to 1000

The Teaching Resources are interactive and the Worksheets are dynamic which means that at the click of a button the numbers in the questions are randomised. Answers are provided every time.

This resource works with the official Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows or Mac computers.
