Adult Numeracy, Functional Maths, and GCSE Resources

L1-2 Ratio and proportion is great introduction to ratio and proportion problems with lots of examples followed by a quiz (ideal for interactive whiteboard use) for up to 3 players.

Ratios and proportion is a highly visual and practical approach to solving ratio and proportion problems. Finishes with a practical cooking application using photos of real food packaging.

Practice with Level 1 and 2 multiple choice questions in a topical setting – great for playing in teams during the last class of term! Covers number, measure and data. 14 questions.

This ‘random number generator’ is an open ended resource that the author originally designed to use for mental maths (adding or taking away 10 from the displayed number). It was later used it as part of a ‘Question of Sport’ quiz (in the spelling round!): learners choose a picture and then spell the ‘random’ number that appears: 49, 32, 28, 46, 67, 55, 21, 74 and 13 (these be edited to suit and could also be linked to any set of numbered, pre-prepared quiz questions on any topic).

Lattice method is a beautifully clear PPT with step by step animated examples showing how to use the lattice method to multiply two 2-digit numbers.

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).

A brilliant interactive PPT full of really workable tips and hints.

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.

This PPT provides clear explanations followed by plenty of practice. A wide range of individual problems pop up allowing learners to solve them at their own pace. Great for revising ‘naming fractions’ and introducing equivalents and simplifying.

Provides quick practice converting from pounds to pence, and vice versa. Lots of questions pop up allowing learners to solve them at their own pace. Great for a warm up before work on entering money correctly using a calculator, etc.
