Revisit the ideas that connect
Fractions, ratios, negative numbers and basic algebra often appear together in later mathematics. Ask students to explain an approach with words or a diagram. A correct answer reached by a fragile rule may need more attention than it first appears.
Make working visible
A clear line of working makes errors easier to find and discussion more useful. Encourage students to show a setup, explain a chosen method and check whether the result is reasonable. Speed can wait while the method becomes reliable.
Choose challenge with care
Extension should deepen understanding, not race through unfamiliar topics. Use school expectations and a review of current work to set the next step. Return to prerequisite skills when they interrupt new learning.
