If 10% is 12, can you calculate the others?

A nice way to introduce (reverse) percentages of amounts.

The rumour is @morrismaths359.bsky.social is teaching lots of percentages at the moment.

Has anyone got any insights on teaching of Decision maths? In a perfect world a scheme of learning would be great- or at least an insight into important orders / things you can't do before other things! #ALevelMaths

Wrote these for my yr12 pures over the weekend off the back of an assessment. They were struggling with making decisions about how to use information, so made everything revolve around two points. Also threw in some ‘find k’ vs ‘find in terms of k’. #MathsToday
