These four structured worksheets show how to use multipliers to decrease or increase an amount by a percentage. The aim is to show students how to use this efficient method as an alternative to calculating the change then adding or subtracting it. This will make them especially useful for teaching this tricky topic to foundation level GCSE students in the new specification. The answers are included. The questions ask students to use different methods to calculate the answers and check they are the same. There is a page of word problems to apply the method to real life situations. This topic usually skips by so quickly at school that many students miss it and are left perplexed when they are expected to understand how to do reverse percentage calculations. These pages are ideal for independent learning or revision and follow on from the ‘Calculating Percentages using Multipliers’ resource.

This set of arithmetic worksheets is written and illustrated for adults and older teenagers who want to improve their basic arithmetic skills but it is also suitable for younger age groups. It is ideal for helping people to practise their times tables. These SKILLSHEETS show students the basic principles behind multiplication and division and the connections between them. The book is structured to ensure progression from the idea of counting objects in groups to memorising multiplication facts and using formal and informal methods with understanding to solve problems. Each times table has its own page. There are plenty of examples of how to use tricks and patterns to work out complicated multiplications mentally. Estimation skills are also covered. The word problem sheets throughout the book assess students’ ability to apply their skills to real situations. Knowing when to multiply or divide is as important as knowing how to. The worksheets on multiplication and division by 10, 100, and 1000 focus on shifting digits’ place value to take students away from the “add a zero to times by ten” idea which causes problems once decimals are involved. Each worksheet comes in three versions. Monochrome, colour or on-screen completion ( answers need to be checked by a tutor ) Please review this resource and visit my TES shop and website to see similar products.
