Students can work in pairs or individually to solve the Reverse percentages in this collaborative and active learning “Around the Clock” card activity. Each partner gets a clock with 12 unique reverse percentage questions to solve and an answer sheet
Each partner’s clock problems are different but the standard of question and answer are similar, encouraging collaboration and teamwork. If one student gets stuck, the other can help.
Students paste their START card at 12 o’clock, solve the question and find the solution on the top of another card. They then paste this next card at 1 o’clock and solve it. Each answer students find will lead to the next problem to solve.
Students solve all 12 rverse percentage problems until they get back to 12 o’clock. If all problems have been solved correctly, the solution to the problem at 11 o’clock will be found at the top of their START card.
The activity is self-checking, providing students with instant feedback. The final product is a colorful example of their ability to solve reverse percentage questions
This lesson teaches children to use a.m. and p.m. to say if events happen before or after noon. It includes a presentation and differentiated activity sheets.

A one sheet activity that includes converting metric measures, calculating area of rectangles and compound shapes and working out how many tiles fit into a room and an extension question. The idea is that learners bring some of their maths skills from different math areas into answering a question. A bit like Functional Skills where learners have to apply their maths skills to answer a functional question. Bringing all the skills together to answer a question is difficult for functional maths students as they are used to just doing 1 maths step and using 1 maths skill at a time. This worksheet will build up those skills in steps.

Unlock the code to escape the room by answering percentage of amount increase/decrease questions. I use this with a set of combination locks I bought cheap in a poundshop. I set the locks to open on a set combination which can only be got buy answering the questions. The quickest team to get the combination win. This activity generates great fun in class and is worth the investment in a set of cheap combi locks.
