What children will practise

Mixed Grade 5 review: subtracting unlike fractions, writing a decimal as a fraction in simplest form, long division, the third angle of a triangle, a percentage of a number and the volume of a cube.

What's in the worksheet

6 questions, multiple choice with 3 options - 5/6 - 1/3 (1/2) - 0.75 as a fraction in simplest form (3/4) - 196 ÷ 14 (14) - A triangle has angles of 50 and 60 degrees; find the third (70) - Volume of a cube with edges of 4 (64)

How to use it in class

Use before a test or as a follow-on to MIX-01; about 6-8 minutes. - Play solo to see each child's weak spots, then check the mark book report - For Q1, have children write 1/3 = 2/6 before subtracting - If many miss Q6, build a 4 × 4 × 4 cube from blocks or draw 4 layers of 16 - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Q6: children often answer 16 (4 × 4, one face) or 48 - Q1: 2/3 comes from not making the denominators equal; 4/3 from muddled subtraction - Q2: 75/10 comes from miscounting the decimal places - Q5: 90 or 110 come from working out 10% of 250 wrongly
