A worksheet cobbled together for substituting into formula. Questions taken from CIMT and formatted to cater for needs of the class. Please note that this only focuses on substituting, not rearranging, even when the questions get harder.

Students need to follow the instructions using different combinations of numbers, they should find a pattern emerging. Can be then expanded to include 4 digit numbers, and to look for exceptions.

Fractions Problem Solving in Context

I wanted to bring my maths classroom closer to the real world, and specifically the problems and changes that we face. I wanted a resource that would raise awareness of important issues in society, invite discussion in a maths classroom, and spur action. So these resources place key fraction skills in the context of society’s challenges. **Students work with fraction change and fractions of amounts. ** It provides an opportunity to practice problem solving in new contexts, and highlights the power that maths has to quantify issues and help address them. The numbers and statistics are all very close to the real numbers, often rounded to make it easier to work with in a classroom. Feel free to add your own and adjust and help take maths into the world and its challenges!

An exercise I enjoy giving classes to reverse their role. They need to correct the answers and, in this case, the reasoning too. Good for a class discussion afterwards too.
