As a retired teacher who now does a lot of substitution work in our local Gaelscoil where subjects are taught through Irish I found this pack to be extremely helpful. At the moment I am taking small groups of students who need extra help and the 5th. class group were just starting percentages. I looked up the pack and found it to be very very helpful in introducing this area to them. It is great to be able to dip in and out of the packs for that bit of extra help. So well done and keep up the good work.
This resource is ideal for ks4 aln and low ability learners I have been able
to use this continually through ks3 and again at ks4 for revision purposes.
The pictures cause the learners to remember the topic and they seem to like the penguins. i merge these into other power points which are wordy and with worksheets. keep up the good work.
I absolutely love the Percentages Teaching Pack. It is ideal for teaching percentages as it has all the resources I need in one place. I always use the 'Percentages of Amounts' sheets to check my students have grasped the concept and they love working on the 'Price Changes' sheets. Thank you, Teaching Packs!
As always, a good range of activities and worksheets presented in a highly visual and SpLD 'friendly' format that allow for teaching, reinforcement and consolidation of percentage facts. Thanks
Excellent set of resources. Very well illustrated.
Language used simple and clear for pupils with special needs.Like the link to real life.
I just loved these little penguins, a great visual for all types of learners. Really helpful resource in the progress from fractions to percentage. clear and fun activities. love the follow me cards, a great way to end a lesson. thank you
We loved this pack, particularly the perfect little penguins. The pack, as with all the others, is so vibrant and well illustrated, that it made learning percentages so much fun. We can't wait to start the next one!
Thank you again for another engaging resource. This pack (along with the fractions and decimals packs) has been very useful for my Year 5s trying to get their heads around the triple threat! I especially like the quick reference cards.
It was great to find a set of resources that enable me to teach percentages in a clear, interesting manner. I loved the visual way of showing the link between fractions, decimals and percentages. The dominoes and follow me cards are a great way to liven up a lesson. The "What percentage?" cards are clear and colourful and great for both displays and as discussion prompts.
Such a wonderful resource that is beautifully illustrated! The pack, like all of the others, is an excellent way to commence the topic with any year level as it starts at the beginning of the concept and progressively increases in difficulty to suit all age groups. I love the versatility of each of the packs. To everyone at 'Teaching Packs', thanks for the wonderful resources!
