Percentage Problems - Students solve a range of problems involving the calculation of percentages, including for measures and comparisons. Similar Shapes - Students use their understanding of ratio and scale factor to solve a number of varied and real-world similar shapes problems. Combined, the lessons enable children to meet and exceed the following curriculum standards: solve problems involving the relative sizes of 2 quantities where missing values can be found by using integer multiplication and division facts; solve problems involving the calculation of percentages and the use of percentages for comparison; solve problems involving similar shapes where the scale factor is known or can be found 4. solve problems involving unequal sharing and grouping using knowledge of fractions and multiples. Each lesson follows a clear step-by-step learning journey, in which children learn through: -Defining, exemplifying, and understanding the key concepts through clear and simple explanations; -Demonstrating their understanding through well-differentiated (Bronze, Silver, and Gold Challenge) application and challenge activities; -Applying their understanding to real-life problems, for example involving recipes; -Gauging their own understanding through both AfL activities and self-reflection tasks.

Student helpsheets (where appropriate) There are also opportunities for group learning, speaking and listening, peer assessment, and whole class discussion. I originally used these resources with Year 6 (and higher-attaining Year 5) classes, however colleagues have used them for between years 4 and 9 with some minor adaptations. Some of the content really does become quite challenging (especially the Gold sheets) and so these resources could easily be used for KS3 children.
