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.

This is a thought provoking activity about how many variables are needed to describe a shape. For example, if you don’t care about size, rotation or position all squares are the same. To define size, one variable is needed. To define rotation, one variable is needed. To define position in the 2D plane, two variables are needed. So to fully define any square requires four variables. There are many possible different choices for these four. (Updated 2023)

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

Many powerpoints, worksheets and a homework with mixed revision questions. Topic specific revision questions on the following topics, as both Powerpoints and PDFs. Circles Complete the Square Differentiation Functions Log Graphs M=tan theta Polynomials Straight Line Straight Line & Functions

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 two page Power Point with questions revising arcs and sectors.

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

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.
