Level 6 Pack 3

Welcome!
This is the third in a series of teaching aids designed by teachers for teachers at level 6.
The worksheets are designed to support the delivery of the National Curriculum in a variety of
teaching and learning styles. They are not designed to take the pedagogy away from the teacher.
The worksheets are centred around the shown level, but spiral from the level below to the level
above. Consult the National Numeracy Strategy for definitive National Curriculum levels.
They can be used by parents with the support of the on-line help facility at www.10ticks.co.uk.
Contents and Teacher Notes.
Pages 3/4. Percentages 1.

There is a huge amount of percentage work to be covered at level 6. This first
sheet covers finding percentages of quantities and percentage increases and
decreases of quantities. It ends by putting these questions into context with
worded questions.
Finding the original quantity in a question, again putting it into context with
worded questions.
Finding a percentage.
Percentage increase and decrease.
Percentage profit and loss. Simple and Compound interest.
Pages 13/14. Vulgar Fractions, Decimal Fractions and Percentages.
Interchanging between these three number systems. The use of the dot above a
number is used to indicate recurring numbers. Using trial and improvement
to find fractions that are equivalent to recurring decimals is a very difficult
skill. Use these sections only with the more able pupils.
Page 15. Fraction Hexagon Puzzle Grid.
The master grid needed for the hexagon puzzle cards.
Page 16. Percentage, Decimal, Fraction Equivalent Hexagon Puzzle Cards.
Place the correct hexagon on the correct spot on the master board.
Rotate the hexagons until the adjoining hexagon has the equivalent
fraction/decimal/percentage next to it. How many hexagons can you get in
place that are fully equivalent?
Page 17. The Decimal Number Line.
A series of questions that lead to deeper understanding of the decimal system.
This is a precursor to trial and improvement and the decimal skills needed to
attempt this type of question.
Page 18. Investigations with Decimals, Fractions and Percentages.
Some investigations surround the number systems. Some are quite difficult and
go beyond level 6, but more able pupils should cope.
Pages 19/20. Rounding Off.
Rounding off to decimal places and significant figures. Page 20 shows numbers
that have already have been rounded off and looks at the upper and lower limits
that the values could possibly take.
Level 6 Pack 3. Page 1. [email protected]

Pages 21/22. Fractions 1.
Revision of improper fractions, cancelling and common denominators.
Pages 23/24. Fractions 2.
Addition and subtraction of fractions. Starting with the same denominators and
moving quickly to addition/subtraction by finding common denominators.
Pages 25/26. Fraction Pyramid.
This style of worksheet should be familiar to pupils by now and should need
little explanation. To get the fraction above add the two fractions below. As the
questions progress subtraction is needed.
Pages 27/28. Magic Squares (Fractions).
Lots of addition and subtraction involved in the magic squares. This sheet is
particularly useful for the more able. Question 16 could be used in isolation
as a board exercise, with pupils choosing fractions and the class making the
magic square.
Pages 29/30. Hit 12/Hit 15.
Shove penny game adapted to fractions. Hit 12 is centred on the fractions 1/2,
1/3, 1/4 and by necessity 1/12. Similarly Hit 15 is centred on the fractions 1/3,
1/6, 1/9 and by necessity 1/18.
Pages 31/32. Addition/Subtraction of Fractions (Worded Questions).
These pages put all the fraction skills learnt to date into context.
Pages 33/34. Multiplication and Division of Fractions 1.
Multiplying fractions by whole numbers. Answers start as whole numbers
but graduate to mixed numbers.
Multiplying fractions by fractions. This leads to cancelling down before
multiplying out and multiplying mixed numbers together. Diagrams are used to
show the multiplication, this is more clearly demonstrated by repeating the
diagrams when folding a sheet of paper. The “overlap” is the answer.
Division of fractions. Introduction of inverse. Dividing a whole number by a
fraction and looking for rules to help with division.
Pages 39/40. Fraction Multiplication Grids.
Again, this style of worksheet should be familiar to pupils by now and should
need little explanation. Multiplication and division skills are necessary.
Questions 23 and 24 are very difficult and you may want to prompt the class by
giving them 1 of the surrounding fractions.
Pages 41/42. Multiplication/Division of Fractions (Worded Questions).
Putting all the multiplication and division skills into context.

b). Write down, without the use of a calulator, the next two numbers for each
of the above sequences.
c). Create sequences similar to the ones above, using these starting points.
Write down the first 5 terms for each sequence.

3). Using the numbers 1 - 9 inclusive find as many ways of making the whole numbers 2 - 9.
You may only use the digits once e.g. 75249 = 9
8361
If you want help look below:
2 = ***58 3 = 1***9 4 = ***68 5 = **4** or **845 or 148** or **645

672* 5**3 39** 2697 ***9 ***3 3***
6 = 1***8 7 = **7** 8 = 25496 9 = *5249 or ***** or ***29

2**3 *394 **** 836* 6471 63**
.
4). To convert 0.7 into a fraction:
let x = 0.77777777777777777777777777777777777777......
10x = 7.777777777777777777777777777777777777...... __ by subtraction

x = 0.777777777777777777777777777777777777......
9x = 7
so x= 7

Fractions 2.
Addition and Subtraction of Fractions.
A. If the fractions have the same denominator then we add/subtract the numerators.
E.g. 3 + 9 = 3+9 = 12 = 6 = 1 1

B. If the fractions have different denominators then we must find a common denominator
before we add/subtract.
E.g. 3 - 2 The common denominator 3 = 9 2 = 8 so 3 - 2 = 9 - 8 = 1

C). When finding a fraction of some numbers the answer may not be whole.
Here are two methods to deal with these questions:
Method 1. Method 2.
1
E.g. 1 x 10 /3 x 9 = 3 3 r1
1 1
3 /3 x 1 = /3 3 10
1
so /3 x 10 = 3 1/3 = 3 1/3
1
E.g. 1 x 37 /5 x 35 = 7 7 r 2
1
5 /5 x 2 = 2/5 5 37
1
so /5 x 37 = 7 2/5 = 7 2/5
Use any method to find

D). Here is another way of attempting multiplications.

E.g. 1 x 11 = 11 = 4 11 =3 1
4 4 4
11r1
E.g. 2 x 17 = 34 = 3 34 = 11 1

Use this method to find
1). 2 of 8 2). 1 of 9 3). 2 of 12 4). 2 x 13 5). 3 x 15

3 5 5 3 4
Here is a second way of attempting harder multiplications.
E.g. 3 x 19 Find 1/5 x 19 = 3 r4 = 3 4/5

5
3
so /5 x 19 = 3 x 3 4/5 = 9 12/5
= 9 + 2 2 /5 = 11 2/5

11). Why is question 10 different from the other questions ?
C). Some answers cancel down. The easiest way to do this is to cancel before multiplying.
E.g. 3 x 63 = 3 x 3 = 9
2
4 7 2 7 14 Sometimes there is more to cancel.
E.g. 2 x 93 = 1
2 x 3 = 1 x 3 = 3
1
3 10 1 105 1 5 5
1
This is usually done as one calculation 2 x 93 = 3
looking like this : 1
