A fun lesson that introduces Graph Theory through the example of Facebook. The Powerpoint introduces it and then the worksheet lets them practice. Key terms learned are: edges, vertices, degree, connected.

Everything you need to revise angles! The first Power Point covers - types of angle, angles in circle (360), angles on a straight line (180), angles in a triangle (180), corresponding and alternate angles, right angled and isosceles triangles The second Power Point covers - a big one-slide recap, a challenging question, places you might see some of the shapes involved

How much does a squirrel weigh? Use the scales to find out! This is a nice way to introduce algebra equations. Each seesaw is perfectly in balance, which leads to a simple equation to find the weight of an animal. This is very intuitive and pupils will have no trouble 'seeing' the first few, then will need to start using algebra to solve the harder ones. Answers provided.

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.

A simple world map Starter Question introducing the idea of co-ordinates with longitude and latitude.

A worksheet with explanations then questions on radians. Includes converting to and from degrees.

Shed Loads of Practice (SLOP) is about pupils solving a huge number of easy questions quickly to gain fluency. This is an Excel workbook that generates questions on the following topics. Some are basic numeracy some National 5 / GCSE or Higher Maths level. Negative and Positive Numbers Odd and Even Numbers Combining like terms Expanding brackets Percentages finding the multiplier Trig standard values Scale Factor Indices Print it out and give pupils just a few minutes to fill them all in.

Practice ratio questions on simplifying ratios dividing a sum ratio problems Extension problems included too, and answers. 2021 - added a ratio homework with answers

Powerpoints with two example timetables (Glasgow to Belfast and Glasgow to Cornwall) and accompanying questions

Two sets of worksheets with solutions on - recognising and drawing fractions - finding simple fractions of an amount - simplifying fractions - equivalent fractions And one further worksheet with more routine practice, plus a Power Point with some simple questions

This is an investigation for the whole class to do at the same time, investigating the seemingly simple idea of the four corners of a rectangle. It will force pupils to get out of the simple thinking that every rectangle has to be lined up with the co-ordinate axes, with a horizontal base and vertical sides. Can be done visually, or for more able pupils with algebra and straight lines. Full solutions included.

Extra resources for this SQA Course. Students will learn how to use Excel and then analyse some simple data with it. Suitable even for complete Excel beginners.

A problem solving scenario to combine skills, useful for revision and group work. The skills tested here are: • Linear equations, including x-intercept and y-intercept • Solving simultaneous equations • Finding the formula for a sine wave from a graph • Indices • Surds • Changing the subject of a formula Pupils will also need good communication skills and teamwork (if working in groups). Provided with teacher notes and full worked solutions.

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

A set of 20 questions in a loop where pupils have to convert to and from Scientific Notation. Print out all 20 in A4 and put them up around the classroom (or outdoors). Give pupils a letter A-T to start on then challenge them to complete the chain of letters by matching up numbers in normal and scientific form.

A Powerpoint (or PDF) of algebra problems that involve ages. These are hard enough that they need the equations to be written out in full. Some need simultaneous equations to solve. Solutions given.

Two homeworks and a revision sheet on basic numeracy for National 4 Maths or National 4 Lifeskills Covers things like: decimals, money, fractions, ratio

A series of simple questions that I used over the Summer Holidays to prepare pupils for Higher Mathematics. Topics include - mixed arithmetic, negatives, algebra, fractions, algebra, surds, trigonometry, notation, indices, and some more complicated algebra

A mixed collection of questions covering many major topics of National 5 of GCSE Maths, all with a fun theme of Colin the Caterpillar! Topics covered are: Indices, fractions, volume, quadratics, scattergraph, statistics, percentages Provided with full solutions.

Some resources to help understand the normal approximation to a binomial distribution. A Powerpoint investigating when a Binomial distribution is close to a normal distribution, and also a video commentary of the Powerpoint. We find that if the sample size is too small (or too skewed) then the normal approximation is good. Specifically, we want np>5 and nq>5. A couple of worked solutions to example problems, in video form
