With this Year 6 Use Scale Factors Discussion Problem, you can give your children two in-depth questions that focus on scale factors. These questions are designed to encourage deeper thinking, as well as promoting conversation amongst children about different methods of working and different answers. An answer sheet is provided that includes example answers to help with your marking. Why not encourage peer or self marking to foster even more conversation?

Make sure to use our Modelling PowerPoint, Varied Fluency and Reasoning and Problem Solving worksheets before this Discussion Problem to make sure your class has the right level of knowledge to access this learning.
