Noun Phrases, Percentages and June 2019 paper 1

Along with trying to deepen my understanding of maths by attending a (carefully chosen) online course, I've also had the opportunity to get involved in developing English materials.

While there are some excellent worksheets available - as with maths - it's quite difficult to find suitable materials. Although we are fortunate to have a wide range of bespoke worksheets, and take pride in ensuring that each one is useful to encourage students on their academic journey.

Key Stage 2 (2nd to 5th Grade)

The students studying English continue to impress, and there has been a significant improvement in creative writing. It's perhaps the most difficult area to work through, and requires constant focus.

Here's a good exercise to help develop this key skill. An 'expanded noun phrase' gives more detail or information about a noun ... usually done by adding adjectives:

She walked through the dark, mysterious forest.

Can you create your own, after you've worked through the questions below?

Key Stage 3 (6th to 8th Grade)

Percentages are certainly a key skill for all GCSE study, and definitely feature in ... pretty much ... every exam.

And they are very useful in real life :-)

Key Stage 4 (9th and 10th Grade)

Good to see many students completing GCSE past papers, and working hard to achieve the very best grades.

Here's the questions, fully worked answers and a walkthrough video - please do let me know if you need any help, and always pleased to mark / feedback.

Have a great week.

PS. And finally, the joke of the day:

Why won’t elephants use a computer?

….They're afraid of the mouse.
