jchowelljchowell

Ratio: Simplifying ratios_ decimals/ fractions

(0)
Lesson looking at how we simplify rations which have either decimals or fractions as their component shares. Starter reviews simplifying and sharing with integer shares. Ratios with decimals looks at multiplying by powers of 10 and then simplifying where appropriate. Ratios with fractions looks at examples with common denominators and with different denominators.

jchowelljchowell

Recurring and Terminating Decimals

(0)
9-1 GCSE lesson. Starter: Converting from terminating decimals into fractions. Definitions of terminating, recurring and non-repeating decimals. How to know if a fraction is a terminating or non-terminating decimal [non-calculator] using prime factors. How to convert from a recurring decimal to a fraction using algebra. All ideas have worked examples. Differentiated slide of questions. All answers included.
Introducing and Simplifying Surds
jchowelljchowell

Introducing and Simplifying Surds

(0)
Starter looks at factorising numbers using square numbers as one of the factors. Rational and Irrational numbers are explained and defined.
