A timed speed-drill pack for building fast, accurate fluency across fractions, decimals and percentages - the number sense that keeps working quick enough for the real GL Assessment 11+ maths paper. Complete each block against its own 5-minute target without a calculator, writing only the final answer in the answer grid provided; no working space is given or needed. There are 4 blocks of 20 one-mark, answer-only questions: Block 1, fractions of amounts, moving from unit fractions to harder non-unit fractions and a reverse problem; Block 2, percentages of amounts built from the 50%, 25%, 10%, 5% and 1% building blocks, moving to composite percentages and a reverse percentage problem; Block 3, converting between fractions, decimals and percentages in both directions; Block 4, a mixed block combining all three forms, including comparing, ordering and short word problems against the clock. Each block carries its own Target: 5 minutes heading; time yourself (or ask an adult to time you) and note how close you get to the target on each block.
