I have several years of experience with working with underachieving pupils at KS3 level. I am a qualified scondary maths teacher. There are very few good resources for children who have little concrete learning of maths and I have made several resources which have helped to build childrens confidence in maths. The sheets are designed to give pupils the experience of working independently and the feeling of achieveing something which is a difficult topic such as percentages or algebra.
The equations are designed to work with small numbers and to build students confidence with methods rather than big numbers. There is space for the working out so ideally the sheet can be glued into pupils books.
