Percent is a big topic in Secondary School Maths. If you don’t fully understand percentages whilst in KS3 - years 7 to 9 - you will struggle a lot in year 10 and 11 whilst preparing for your GCSE maths exam.

By the way, the work you do in years 7, 8 and 9 is the foundation maths GCSE. So, although nobody tells you, you do actually start your maths gcse in year 7.

Oooooh. Algebraic Fractions eh?

You know I love maths, so I could sit and do them all day long...but for most 'normal' people these are a nightmare...and they get worse.

Algebraic fractions are mostly level 7 and upwards, so an easy version could potentially pop up in the foundation paper, but they are usually always in the higher tier GCSE maths exam. Fun times.
