Check understanding
- Model a recipe-scaling problem with multiplication and fractions, then interpret the answer in grams
- Represent a room-carpet problem by drawing a scale diagram and applying the area formula
- Use a percentage bar model to find a sale price and explain the answer in £
“When your child is solving a real-world maths problem — like scaling a recipe or converting units — do they choose a sensible representation, carry out the maths, and then explain what the result means in the real situation?”
