A Powerpoint with some introductory distance-speed-time questions, then an activity for group work:
Each group is travelling from Glasgow to London via a different method of transport
- plane
- train
- car
- coach
- cycle
-walk
This is four different whole class activities practicing times tables.
There are four versions of the same game, with increasing difficulty:
- easy multiplication, up to 7 x 7.
- slightly harder multiplication, up to 8 x 8 or 9 x 7.
- all multiplication up to 9 x 9, with few easy questions
- all multiplication up to 12 x 12.
A one page sheet with eight common shapes on. Pupils should cut these out and physically fold them, to see which ones have lines of symmetry.
I came up with this in response to pupils who consistently thought that a parallelogram had two lines of symmetry, and a non-square rectangle had four lines of symmetry.
This is a free-standing resource on dividing to get a decimal answer.
It involves questions like 15 ÷ 2 and 4.8 ÷ 3 up to things like 396 ÷ 400
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 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.
A series of questions testing
- sine rule (missing side and missing angle)
- cosine rule (missing side and missing angle)
- area of triangle using 1/2 ab sin C
- bearings (with sine rule and cosine rule)
Solutions provided.
2021 - added second set of questions on Bearings and Trigonometry, and a bearings homework
This is a free-standing resource on fractions, decimals and percentages
It involves recognising groups of identical values like 1/10, 0.1 and 10% up to groups like 4/25, 8% and 0.08.
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 rounding.
It involves questions like round 7.232 to two decimal places up to round 10.503 to three significant figures.
There are two levels of difficulty (A is easier than B) that both have the same solution.
Full solutions included.
A group activity to practice using bearings.
Each group designs a route (choosing how many paces and how many bearings for each leg of the journey) then swaps with another group to see if they can follow the given route.
Each group will need a compass (or compass app on phone).
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 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 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.
Simple questions testing multiplication and division, starting easy then including decimals.
Now with answers on the Power Point.

An Excel simulator does twenty samples each flipping a fair coin one hundred times. Each sample generates a confidence interval for the mean number of heads. On average, 19 out of the 20 confidence intervals will include the true mean of 50 heads,
This simulation can be run many times (by pressing F9) and each time a new graph visually updates, showing how confidence intervals work.
The number of flips and the probabilities can all be changed too.
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.

(Extra question set of mixed questions included 2021)
Mixed resources covering the difficult topic of proof (contrapositive, proof by induction, direct proof and counterexample).
Includes proof by induction questions, a Powerpoint with slides of questions, and a bank of other questions.
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
This is a free-standing resource on finding the area and perimeter of rectangles.
The difficulty comes as sometimes you need to use a bit of logic by looking at the diagram to find the dimensions of the rectangles.
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 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.
