Summary

Proportion now represents a more significant aspect of the reformed GCSE specification and this unit is an excellent resource to support and deepen the learning in this important area of mathematics. With much of the learning contextualised, this unit develops students’ understanding of proportion in the context of currency conversions, best buy problems and conversion between a range of units, including metric and imperial units. It uses graphical representations of proportion to develop understanding and encourage mastery and uses ratio to convert between measures. The unit closes by considering a range of contextualised reasoning problems to deepen understanding.

What people say...

Supply teachers or cover supervisors can be given the PowerPoint presentations to run the lesson. I only wish I had this available when I was head of department. I would have been able to set work quickly, knowing that the material was covered, explanations were sound and the practice questions were well supported.

Python Challenge - if it's anything like PG Online's Learning to program in Python book, it'll be a cracker. I have spent £100's on Python books, PM Heathcote's is by far the best I have come across.
