A fun presentation for pupils to try and guess what each magnified image is. Can also be used in a more advanced way to try and work out the (length) and (area) scale factors between the original picture and the answer.

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 series of 17 one-page handouts each with explanations, examples then questions. Covers Numbers, Negatives, Fractions, Percentages, Algebra. For lower ability classes I print these out and they stick them in their jotters. The topics are: Types of Number, Factors, Powers, Prime Factors, Negatives adding and subtracting, Negatives multiplying and dividing, Fractions of an amount, Equivalent fractions, Mixed numbers, Multiplying and Dividing fractions, Adding and subtracting fractions, Finding percentages, Fractions decimals percentages, Substitution, Multiplying Brackets, Simplifying, Solving Equations)

A two page Power Point with questions revising arcs and sectors.

A Power Point presentation investigating the not-so-obvious question of where the centre of a triangle is. Useful to revise and motivate some of the line work in e.g. Higher Maths Starts with the centre of other shapes (e.g. circle - easy) before introducing the main candidates for the centre of a triangle. These are where the medians, perpendicular bisectors, and altitudes meet. But there are also many other centres. And what about quadrilaterals, or 3D shapes?

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.

Practice in forming and solving simultaneous equations. We often talk about equations being 'in balance' and 'doing the same to both sides'. This worksheet makes that visual idea very obvious to pupils as they are presented with a series of balanced seesaws with animals on them. Each pair of seesaws leads to a pair of simultaneous equations, which can then be solved in the usual way, to find the weight of each animal. Provided with solutions.

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 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 set of revision questions involving bearings and then bearings with trigonometry - something pupils usually need a lot of practice on.

Is every square a rectangle? Is every rectangle a square? An investigation into the properties of the quadrilaterals, working out their properties and which ones are similar. Includes a look into Venn Diagrams and a couple of area challenges at the end. Notes and answers at the bottom of each slide.

Mixed percentage questions, on these topics - percentage change - repeated percentage increase or decrease - reverse percentage

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 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.

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.

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 six round team picture 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 200)

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.
