Percentages Exam Questions

These are taken from the incredible website mathsgenie.co.uk.

I have used them in a lesson where I printed off the attached .pdf with the question on top and the worked solution on the bottom and folded the sheet so that the question would be on one side and the worked solution on the other.

I then placed a selection of these at the back of the classroom and one student per table would get up and pick out one question.

The students would work in pairs to answer the question in their exercise books and then mark their own work with the worked solutions.

If they feel confident, they can put themselves down as experts.

After that, they bring the question back and pick a new one. This works also well with a mixture of topics.
