I provide comprehensive worksheets to revise a particular topic (always with answers included) as well as extension materials, for pupils ranging from age about 11 to 16+.
All of my premium resources have a UK and US version.

This is to introduce pupils to decimals, using a context they are probably already familiar with (the time to run the 100 metres). Pupils work in pairs to complete some exercises looking up times, then get familiar with a stopwatch, then compare some decimal times.
A series of eight small sets of printable questions, each followed by an estimation question on the Powerpoint which uses the answers you have just calculated. The class work on the sets of questions individually then all attempt to estimate the final answer.
I have found this very effective as a general revision activity with pupils in teams, scoring points out of 5 for the revision questions, and also a mark out of 5 for the quality of each estimate.
The numeracy skills revised are:
1 - Rounding
2 - Perimeter and Area
3 - Angles
4 - Long Multiplication
5 - Units
6 - Decimals
7 - Big Numbers
8 - Time
Provided with answers.
Tired of your usual lesson starters? These six Power Points are on
- how old are you in seconds
- using coins
- a famous question solved by Gauss
- penguins
- pandas
- temperature in the UK and US
Pupils learn about money and get the chance to design their own coins.
Practices simple skills with money and deicmals, and gets them thinking about currencies in general with some extension questions.
This activity is inspired by the Scottish Independence Referendum of 2014.
An introduction to time. Reading the time from clocks, then difference between two times, and finally a challenge with times in the school weak.
Full solutions provided.
Four probability resources: Conditional Probability with tree diagrams, Conditional Probability with Venn diagrams, Conditional Probability with Set Notation, Deadly disease probability question
A short video explaining how to solve a conditional probability problem using tree diagrams.
A video using a Venn Diagram to determine if the events are independent, mutually exclusive, and calculate some conditional probabilities. This is done alongside calculating with a table.
Practice questions with solutions using Set Notation

The key to exam technique in mathematics is to solve each problem multiple times, using independent methods. You also want an independent check.
Mathematicians hate to get things wrong!
This presentation and activities will help your students from making mistakes.
A series of examples and questions on the following topics:
Express a change in value as Percentage
Calculate Compound Interest
Reverse Percentage Change
Appreciation/Depreciation by a Percentage
Provided with solutions
A series of about 30 Power Points each with mixed starter activities testing basic numeracy of:
- whole numbers
- fractions, decimals, percentages
- money
- graphs
- symmetry
This is an investigation for pupils to discover that the more sides you have on a polygon, the closer the area comes to that of a circle. In fact, using polygons was how people once estimated pi.
Skills used
- trigonometry
- area
- algebra
- Pythagoras
Full solutions included.
A booklet for pupils to fill in with practice questions on curve sketching, of trig graphs and log graphs. Includes translating graphs.
Q1 & Q2 are taken from past papers. Q7 and Q8 are left blank for extra questions.
Full solutions at the end.
Three resources:
A Powerpoint with questions and answers, alongside video solutions.
The following questions are solved:
finding the mean of a sample
finding the variance of a sample
estimating population mean from a sample
estimating population variance from a sample
Mean and Varirance questions by P Benson for which I’ve written out solutions
Expectation Algebra questions
A set of 13 practice assessments covering all aspects of the National 5 Course. Each one is laid out with space for write-on answers, and provided with solutions.
Edit: Added assessments 14-17
This is a five round team quiz that takes about 50-75 minutes to do completely.
The questions are not too serious and everyone should be able to have a good guess.
Full solutions included.
(Updated 2022)
Eleven fun questions based on the Scottish Advanced Higher Statistics course, also applicable to the English Statistics A level. Questions are on a Powerpoint and full solutions on a PDF.
Topics covered include: conditional probability, regression analysis, confidence intervals, paired t-test, Poisson distribution, Binomial distribution, Chi-squared distribution, Continuous uniform distribution and Normal distribution.
Edit: updated May 2023
There are two comprehensive worksheets here practicing basic skills with decimals.
Pupils can work individually going through the questions as revision.
Full solutions included.
