Best buy and proportion questions - loosely based on setting up a nursery.
I have used this with my Functional Skills Maths and Employability group. We carried out a few examples as a group, left them on the board and I then gave them this worksheet to complete. I sat with the lower attainers and hand wrote in scaffolded examples whilst talking to them about it.
I have also used the same lesson plan for my GCSE resits as a revision task.

I have found that although some learners are able to calculate averages, they often struggle to interpret the results. This resource has been designed with this in mind.
