Arithmetic. Fractions. Percentages. Ratio. Proportion. Standard form. Bounds. The marks look small until students bleed them everywhere.


Foundation Gate

Before using this full Number Study Kit, weak students should complete the rescue page below:

Number Survival Toolkit

Use it first if the student makes errors with signs, brackets, fractions, decimals, powers, roots, standard form or estimation. This is the non-calculator survival page.

FDP Conversion Map

Use this next if the student confuses fractions, decimals, percentages, percentage change, discount, profit/loss or reverse percentage.

Ratio, Rate and Speed Flow

Use this when the student freezes on word problems involving share, per, speed, scale, exchange rates, best value, direct proportion or inverse proportion.

Accuracy, Rounding, Bounds and Units

Use this when the student gets the method right but loses marks through rounding, units, bounds, context rounding or final answer format.
