Here the method is never named in the question. A child has to look at a story about a coach fare, a tin of sweets or a rectangle with a corner cut out and decide for themselves whether it wants a ratio, a reverse percentage or a chain undone backwards. The hard tier of every unit is built on that decision, which is exactly where marks are lost on a real paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse this if:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour child is in Year 4 to Year 11 and can do the arithmetic but freezes on a wordy question\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're preparing for the 11+, where almost every question on the maths paper takes more than one step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour child is working towards GCSE Foundation and loses marks on problem solving rather than on method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want a resource your child can check their own work with, not one more thing on your to-do list\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt by an \u003cstrong\u003eexperienced maths teacher\u003c\/strong\u003e with over 3,000 hours of one-to-one tutoring experience and a Master's in Education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBetter value as a bundle.\u003c\/strong\u003e This lesson is one of 6 in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shlc-tutor.co.uk\/products\/reasoning-problem-solving-bundle\"\u003eReasoning \u0026amp; Problem Solving Bundle\u003c\/a\u003e, all 6 for £23.99 instead of £35.94 bought separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Interactive digital lesson, link sent by email straight after purchase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year 4 to Year 11, 11+, KS2, KS3, KS4, GCSE Foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefunds:\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a digital product delivered instantly, so it cannot be returned or refunded once the link has been opened.
