An exit ticket with two questions on using percentages to compare, for Year 6 maths. Pupils decide whether Sam's 18/20 beats Maya's 85%, then whether 20% off or £10 off is the better discount on a £40 game. The page holds three identical slips, so one print covers three pupils. Matched to the England National Curriculum percentages objective.
Ratio and proportion
“Solve problems involving the calculation of percentages [for example, of measures, and such as 15% of 360] and the use of percentages for comparison”
Both questions force a conversion before a comparison can be made.
Sam scored 18/20 and Maya scored 85%; pupils decide who did better.
Pupils compare 20% off with £10 off on a £40 game.
Each slip ends with a five-emoji check on how pupils feel about the lesson.
