A series of four worksheets to progressively introduce pupils to the idea of adding and subtracting fractions by matching the denominators. Rather than just presenting it to them as a rule, they work through simple examples to gain an understanding of what is happening.
I wrote this out of frustration with a poor class who simply didn't seem to understand how fractions worked, and although they could memorise a method, would then misapply it (for example, trying to add three fractions with them was a disaster, until they actually understood what they were doing)
A worksheet of practice questions on everything to do with Higher Functions.
domain and range
max value of a function
inverse functions
tangent to a function
showing a function is always positive
sketch of a function
differentiating a function
quadratic inequalities
A write-on worksheet with 18 short questions revising exact values of trigonometry,
Most questions simple e.g. sin(60) and also includes angles above 90 degrees, radians and a few questions on inverse trig.
Solutions at the end.
A short Power Point explaining what VAT is, what you have to pay it on, and finishing with a question about Jaffa Cakes.
Answers included on the Power Point.
Some easy questions as lesson starters.
- Finding simple percentages, like 10% or 15%
- Finding any percentage, like 23% or 92%
- Finding percentage increases and decreases
- Converting between fractions, percentages, decimals
Answers included on the Power Point.
Proofs of some of the key formulas in Advanced Higher Statistics. Not required for the course but some pupils (and teachers) may find it interesting.
proof the two ways of writing the variance formula are equivalent
proof that using the ‘divide by n-1’ formula gives the best estimate of a population variance
proof of Bayes Theorem
proof of laws of expectation and variance
proof of the origin of the Poisson formula, and of the mean and variance
proof of mean and variance for uniform discrete
proof of mean and variance for uniform continuous
proof that using proportions and the normal approximation to a binomial are equivalent
proof a line of best fit goes through the average point
proof the line of best fit gives the least squares
proof of SSR formula
proof in bivariate analysis DF=n-2
proof test slope parameter nonzero and coefficient of correlation nonzero are equivalent
Building up and using the skills for Pythagoras:
squaring
square rooting
short side
long side
mix of short and long side
some word problems.
Answers included at the end.
A Power Point to (start to) answer the question of why we have 60 minutes in an hour. Wouldn't it be much easier if there were 100?
Includes a few simple questions for pupils on finding fractions of 60.
Practice Questions on one-sample and two-sample versions of the following tests
• z-test for a difference in population means
• t-test for a difference in population means (including paired)
• z-test for a difference in population proportions
At last! An explanation for why mathematicians like Radians. Divided into six categories
Pi is great
Rotation Speed
Drawing Graphs
Calculus
Sine expansion Formula
Spherical Trigonometry
Includes short questions on each category
These are extensive notes that I have made to teach this SQA Course.
Includes many example questions and follow ups on Excel.
I’ve also included here a course outline, essential exam skills and a practice exam with solutions.
*Updated 2020 to have Course Notes for pupils (with spaces for answers) and Course Notes for teachers (answers filled in)
*Updated 2022 with corrections
This is a series of questions that will guide pupils from thinking only in numbers to thinking algebraically.
The questions are increasingly challenging, finishing with some that require a lot of thought and can be investigated further.
Several revision Powerpoints and mixed revision worksheets.
Many topics covered but in particular Binomial Theorem, Complex Numbers, Partial Fractions, Euclid and Proof.
All with either short answers or full solutions
Includes topic-specific revision material on the following topics, as Powerpoints and PDFs.
Binomial Theorem
Complex Numbers
Binomial Theorem and Complex Numbers
Loci of Complex Numbers
Matrices
Number Theory
Partial Fractions
Indices (revision of easier material to help with binomial theorem)
Sequences
These are the course notes I have been using for the last few years to teach Advanced Higher Statistics. I wrote them myself, based on the SQA course description, and have included lots of examples.
