3. Fractions Vocabulary
@Scott_Math83 shared three simple questions which highlight the challenges students face when working with fractions and percentages. A subtle change in wording totally changes each question.

Update
On Friday I was at the Harris October Conference with my lovely colleagues.
If you want to join my brilliant team, we have a vacancy for a January start. Contact me if you want to chat about the role – but note that the closing date for applications is Monday 14th October so you will have to act quickly!
After a quick stop at post-conference drinks in London, I got the train up to Sheffield for pre-#mathsconf36 drinks. Two sets of drinks on the same day in two different cities was a bit much for me – I’m too old for this and I was beyond exhausted!
On Saturday I attended #mathsconf36 which was excellent. It was the best conference I have been to in a long time, and it has rekindled my love for mathsconfs! I went to fantastic workshops led by Rob Eastaway, Sam Blatherwick and Craig Latimir. I really enjoyed these workshops. I ran a session myself called ‘Every Mark Matters’ where I shared examples of where students lose marks at GCSE. The idea is that we show these examples to our students to help them better understand what’s expected. If you attended the conference, my slides will be emailed out next week by the team at Complete Mathematics.
If you’ve not been to a mathsconf in a while, or you’ve never been before, then I strongly encourage you to attend the next one. It will be in March – date and venue tbc.
