Direct and Indirect Proportion Practice Worksheet

(4)
Worksheet comprising 4 sections to build understanding of direct and indirect (or inverse) proportion. Plenty of practice available to keep students occupied and to challenge students to ensure they are able to tackle problems successfully. This worksheet would work well with the 'Steps for Success' document that I have made available for free where a stepped approach for dealing with the topic is detailed.
Maths: 12 Foundation Geometry and Algebra assignments

Maths: 12 Foundation Geometry and Algebra assignments

(0)
This is a series of 12 Foundation homework or revision assignments. They are designed to be used in conjunction with my excel, 'Monitoring' document which allows for all results from the Statistics, Pure and Geometry series to be recorded. These foundation papers are aimed at low to middle ability students. The set can alternatively be purchased to include both Foundation and Higher (for middle to high ability students) versions. They are designed for the new GCSE specification in the UK, and would suit any students within the same age range in other countries. This first series focuses on Geometry and Algebra and are calculator papers. They are easy to mark and provide excellent feedback (the monitoring document allows for results in key topic areas to be analysed, as well as progression as students improve their knowledge and understanding. These assignments have led to sustained improvement of Mathematics results in the College in which the author teaches with students excelling at every ability range.
