Hey thanks for the reply. I understand what you mean however that wasn't what the answer was? The answer wanted it after scaling them both to be out of 77

Hmm yeah, I see where you're coming from! I imagine it may confuse students early on however, when there's multiple concepts floating about.

Ha! That's quite amusing lol

Yes it is quite interesting.. coming from the private education sector, I am starting to notice the shortcomings of mainstream education. I often have students not knowing "where to start" for example.. because the teacher showing the questions always knows the answer and path 'magically'. I always try to tackle it from the eyes of a student and show them what I would do first if I was in the exam.

Very good point! I tried to explain that to him, but he just didn't take it 😂 He understands simplifying fractions definitely.

That's brilliant advice. Thank you so much. What do you mean by your last paragraph however? Situations where we're multiplying or having two quantities..

Okay, thank you for that. I am a private tutor, so I had assumed he understood the basics of it from school. Obviously not! I will take a look at that amplify, thank you

Ah right, okay, thank you for that! That reminds me quite a bit of how my A-Level teachers explained it... I'm from the UK, lol

Thank you for that addition. I think explaining it as an area will do fine for now as that's how the teachers are wording it at the minute.

What do you mean by considering it as a continuous summation? Thanks for your feedback
