This is a free-standing resource on addition and subtraction of decimals It involves additions like 1.3 + 2.8 and 1.3 - 0.34 It's taken from a Murder Mystery Package I wrote hence it includes a small riddle element at the end. There are two levels of difficulty (A is easier than B) that both have the same solution. Full solutions included.

This is a free-standing resource on finding the amount of line symmetry and rotational symmetry of 2D shapes. It's taken from a Murder Mystery Package I wrote hence it includes a small riddle element at the end. There are two levels of difficulty (A is easier than B) that both have the same solution. Full solutions included.

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)

Two Powerpoint slides of more quadratic problems - e.g. path of a projectile, minimum area etc. Answers included.

A collection of typical Proof By Inductions, around 100 in total. Very useful as a teacher if you are looking for examples to use. Includes all the main categories plus a few unusual ones. They are grouped by category: Divisibility, Greater Than, Summation, Recurrence Relationships, Matrices, Calculus, Fibonacci, Miscellaneous, Geometry, Important Theorems, Extensions and Paradoxes Includes sources for even more example proofs.

A mixed homework with questions on arithmetic and geometric sequences, as well as practice complex numbers, binomial theorem and Gaussian elimination. Full solutions included

This contains a dynamic introduction to Stem and Leaf diagrams, using a sort of game. There are then examples to be worked through in groups, and further practice questions to be attempted individually. All provided with answers and commentary.

A problem solving project where pupils use Pythagoras to find how far away the horizon is, depending on your height about sea level. This is an open-ended project, where rather than being given all the information up front the pupils have to work in groups to explore the problem, then reflect on what techniques were effective. It practices several useful skills such as Pythagoras, circle geometry, expanding brackets and rearranging formulas. There is the scope for very good pupils to extend the project in interesting directions.

A series of projects on rearranging formulas. (Note: Some of the embedded equations do not display well on the TES preview but they all display perfectly on the downloadable PDFs) Each project is linked to real life situations, and also includes lots of practice at other KS4 / National 5 Skills: standard form, algebra using brackets, volume formulas, rounding, units, surds.

Each poster has a different mathematician on it, with a picture, biography, quote and puzzle. The puzzles get harder during the week.

A set of worksheets building up to an investigation about the time it takes for an object to drop that can be done in the classroom to practice the skills learned. The sections are: - Basic Skills (factorising, simplifying fractions, solving equations) - Questions (rearranging linear formulas, quadratic formulas, and more difficult formulas too) - Investigation (how long it takes a ball to drop, using a formula and testing it) All provided with full solutions

Four sets of practice questions. Includes: - determining if numbers are prime (and odd or square numbers) - multiples and least common multiples - factors and highest common factor Solutions included

This is a set of six puzzles presented as large scale Power Points. I used them as colour A3 posters for a monthly maths competition. These puzzles are challenging and give the scope for comprehensive answers. Full solutions included.

There are two comprehensive worksheets here practicing basic skills with decimals. Pupils can work individually going through the questions as revision. Full solutions included.

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.

These are a series of fractions problems set in real life contexts. They all involve percentages that can be converted into simple fractions, such as 10% = 1/10. Because of the real life contexts and gradually increasing difficulty I have found that even pupils who normally struggle will be keen to finish the sheet.

his is 12 sets of questions covering a range of topics. They can be used in class, as revision or as homework. Full solutions included. The topics covered are: • Question Set 1: Mixed arithmetic, time, algebra and negative numbers • Question Set 2: Statistics and Numeracy practice • Question Set 3: Statistics, Time and Big Numbers • Question Set 4: Statistics, Negatives, Co-ordinates & Scales • Question Set 5: Statistics, Algebra, Numeracy • Question Set 6: Fractions, Decimals, Percentages and Units • Question Set 7: Decimals, Mean and Multiplication • Question Set 8: Area Division Coordinates and Patterns • Question Set 9: Stats, Volume, Time & Money • Question Set 10: Area, Angles, Perimeter & Money • Question Set 11: Numeracy, Area, Angles, Coordinates • Question Set 12: Area, Angles and Accurate Drawing

A series of worksheets covering all aspect of rounding. - money, rounding to the nearest pound/kilogram/penny - rounding to the nearest 10,100,1000 - using rounding to approximate answers - using rounding to approximate on more difficult problems Full solutions provided to worksheets.

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 a series of worksheets testing a range of algebra skills. This is the rough order of increasing difficulty: Simplify and Brackets - Simplify 2t + 5t - Simplify 2(x+3) – 4 Substitution - If a = 3 and b = 2 find 3a – b Inequalities - Find the set of dice rolls where x > 3 - Find two consecutive numbers that add up to eleven Full solutions included.
