What if pupils find this a barrier?
Ensure pupils have an understanding of a rate. Use straightforward contexts, e.g. £1.50 per dozen eggs, wages of £5 per hour, 8.2 miles per litre.
Relate this to conversion graphs.
Start distance/time with very simple examples using mph, e.g. how long does it take to travel 100 miles at 50 mph?
