A series of nicely presented questions each with some money coming in and some expenses. It's quite simple but gives pupils plenty of practice dealing with the terminology and some simple numeracy.

Three standard questions testing pupils can correctly use the Wilxocon test, for determining if there is a difference between two sets of data. There are also two extension questions. Provided with full solutions.

An interactive activity teaching pupils a few simple memory techniques

A series of five activities to help you learn how to use Excel, with an emphasis on mathematical formulae. The skills learned are: - using formulas (like mean, maximum etc.) - plotting graphs - colour coding cells

A set of five challenging questions testing the link between length, area, and volume scale factor. Full solutions provided. These questions were created by my pupils, so have a relatively real life context!

A series of ten questions asking pupils to prove Trig Identities. For example Show that 3 tan⁡x cos⁡x=3 sin⁡x All included with full solutions.

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

A Powerpoint of Pythagoras questions covering the following topics: Squaring and square rooting Solving the equations that result from Pythagoras equations Finding long and short sides on triangles(with and without a calculator) ‘Double Pythagoras’ with two applications 3D Pythagoras with a space diagonal Distance between co-ordinates Converse of Pythagoras Answers at the bottom of each slide

Two sets of questions (non-calculator and calculator) practicing Fractions -equivalent adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying Order of Operations Highest common factor Prime factorisation Expressing as a percentage and finding a percentage Square roots, and cube roots and squaring Algebra - solving simple equations, simplifying, substitution Rounding to one decimal place Answers provided too.

Nine provocative questions to get pupils thinking about infinity. Each one has footnotes on the Powerpoint to guide towards the answer. What are Zeno’s paradoxes? Is 0.9999999999999999999… the same as 1? What is the smallest decimal number more than 3? What is infinity plus one? What is Hilbert’s Hotel? If something is true for the first million numbers, is it true for all the numbers? What is 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 … equal to? Are some infinities bigger than others? Are there more: numbers, fractions, or decimals?

A worksheet with five real-life problems that require using very big or very small numbers - How far does the Earth travel in one second - How many Earth's fit in the sun - How long does it take for the Sun's light to reach us - How long does it take to get a radio signal to Mars - How many atoms are in the Earth These require a bit of other basic mathematical knowledge (e.g. area of circle) but mostly pupils are lead through each problem in stages. Full solutions included at the end.

A series of examples and full solutions on the following topics - Volume of a Prism (cuboids, cylinders and triangular prisms) - Surface Area of a Prism (cuboids, cylinders and other prisms)

Worked examples and questions on these four topics: Substitute values into expressions and evaluate Multiply two brackets Solve inequalities Create and solve inequalities for problems in words Solutions included

A financial activity to design your own bedroom and pay for it. You will need something like the Argos Catalogue (or IKEA catalogue) to use.

A simple powerpoint with a shop where items cost different amounts. You then ask the pupils how much change they get from a pound. Easily adaptable to add your own items (or change the existing prices) or extend by asking about buying multiple items, starting with £5 etc. Aimed at CfE Level 1 Mathematics

An introduction to Game Theory that I gave to a class of smart 16 year olds. Introduces the idea of a game, and gives some examples of simple two player games and up to zero sum games. Some fun examples of games you can play in class!

A worksheet with four pre-printed distance-time graphs for pupils to interpret. Their answers should be sentences such as "go at 4 metres per second for 3 seconds, then pause for 2 seconds, then ..."

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 simple maths problems aimed at 11+ year olds, which mostly involve fractions plus a bit of angles

This will introduce the topics of 3D volume and surface area, and also provide some challenging extension questions. A set of four worksheets on - Basic Skills (rounding, 2D perimeter and area, 3D volume and surface area) - Problems (real life problems involving volume and surface area of cuboids, cylinders, cones and spheres) - Units (converting between e.g. square metres and square centimetres) - Extensions to the Problems (revisiting the problems with converting units and more in-depth calculations) All provided with solutions.
