Lesson 1: Adding & Subtracting Percentages from amounts
In this lesson, students will learn how to solve percentage word problems using a straightforward method demonstrated in the tutorial. They will practise calculating percentages of amounts and learn to identify whether the percentage should be added to or subtracted from the original value based on the context of the question.
Lesson 2: Letter Series - Finding the next letter pair
In this lesson, students will explore letter pair sequences, identifying the pattern between each pair to determine which comes next. They will practise systematic alphabet counting, recognise common sequence patterns and apply logical reasoning to solve a variety of 11+ style questions with confidence.
Lesson 3: Non-Verbal - Missing part of a sequence
In this lesson, students will carefully analyse sequences of shapes and objects to identify the pattern. Once the rule has been established, they will choose the correct option to complete the sequence. This lesson develops visual reasoning, pattern recognition and logical thinking through a range of 11+ style Non-Verbal Reasoning questions.
