A reciprocal is the multiplicative inverse of any non-zero number. Any non-zero number multiplied by its reciprocal is equal to 1

Checking and securing understanding of equivalent ratios

Maths

In the compound measures unit, pupils will be exploring the multiplicative relationship between different compound measures. Ratio will be one of the ways in which this is explored and the skills from this unit will aid understanding.

The ratio unit will cover comparing fractions, percentages and ratios and being able to move fluently between them. The percentages unit ensured pupils had the opportunity to work with finding the percentage of an amount and the opportunity to calculate interest.
