Two great PPTs with step by step examples using the lattice method (with decimals up to 3 places) and lots of real life practical examples inc. money and measures.
One PPT is for the tutor and can also be used to demonstrate the step by step process. The second PPT is for students and includes blank lattice grids and a series of problems to work on individually or in pairs (could also be printed to make a useful work book).
Really useful onscreen practice in the same multiple-choice style as the national numeracy test.

A very clever spreadsheet that produces a constant supply of different worksheets with the click of a button (you must enable macros for the ‘recalculate’ button to operate). It produces a very nicely laid 1 page worksheets with a fold-over (or cut -off!) answer strip – each page has 16 questions covering addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of large numbers and fractions (some of the fraction questions are beyond the scope of the L2 curriculum but can easily be omitted).

A set of very useful resources: detailed differentiated lesson plan (L1-2) lesson plan and two PPTs (one teacher version with answers, one student version) covering many aspects of L1-2 fractions. Generic examples and practice followed by practical applications and problems for students to work on in pairs or small groups. Examples include food/catering (a Greek party, sandwiches, etc.), production lines and time sheets.
