I provide comprehensive worksheets to revise a particular topic (always with answers included) as well as extension materials, for pupils ranging from age about 11 to 16+.
All of my premium resources have a UK and US version.
Simple questions testing multiplication and division, starting easy then including decimals.
Now with answers on the Power Point.
See the (Premium) Numeracy Starter Questions #2 for more
This is a free-standing resource on multiplication (and addition) of decimals
It involves multiplications like 4 x 0.64 up to things like 11 x 1.25
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.
[Edit - following a comment by angelpax I've fixed the phrase at the end]
Two sets of worksheets with solutions on
- writing numbers in words
- adding and subtracting whole numbers
- time intervals and 24 hour time
- order of operations (BODMAS)
- multiplication and division by e.g. 10, 200, 3000
- long multiplication
- rounding with significant figures
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.
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
A set of 20 questions in a loop where pupils have to convert to and from Scientific Notation.
Print out all 20 in A4 and put them up around the classroom (or outdoors). Give pupils a letter A-T to start on then challenge them to complete the chain of letters by matching up numbers in normal and scientific form.
Shed Loads of Practice (SLOP) is about pupils solving a huge number of easy questions quickly to gain fluency.
This is an Excel workbook that generates questions on the following topics. Some are basic numeracy some National 5 / GCSE or Higher Maths level.
Negative and Positive Numbers
Odd and Even Numbers
Combining like terms
Expanding brackets
Percentages finding the multiplier
Trig standard values
Scale Factor
Indices
Print it out and give pupils just a few minutes to fill them all in.
Pupils add fractions by shading squares. Simple at first, but gradually they build up to understanding why for example 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6
Good for lower ability classes who benefit from a visual representation
Four Power Point slides on sequences
- the first is simple ‘what comes next’
- the second is counting matchsticks and finding a formula
- the third is formally finding a linking formula between ‘S’ and ‘T’
- the fourth is more practice finding and using the relationship between ‘S’ and ‘T’
If you like more challenging ‘What Comes Next’ problems see my separate resource on that.
A practice test on sequences.
Full solutions attached.
A Powerpoint (or PDF) of algebra problems that involve ages. These are hard enough that they need the equations to be written out in full. Some need simultaneous equations to solve.
Solutions given.
Four sets of simple questions for pupils to practice basic skills with fractions, percentages and decimals. Good for revision or consolidation.
Includes
- converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages
- ordering a mixed list of all three
- equivalent fractions
- adding fractions
- mixed numbers and improper fractions
Solutions included.
This is a series of simple questions to give pupils practice in estimating a variety of different units in real life circumstances. The questions are straightforward but should produce a good basis of discussion.
There is estimation in a variety of units and also some measuring.
Full solutions included.

Full solutions provided to all questions.
(Extra question set of mixed questions included 2021)
A six-page worksheet with hundreds of questions broken down into topics, with a key rule followed by practice questions. It starts simple with positive indices then covers all other areas. Topics are:
- multiplying and dividing
- powers of powers
- numbers in brackets
- numbers and letters
- to the power zero and one
- negative powers
- square roots
- fractional powers
- fractional negative powers
Provided with answers in the same document.
I wrote this as I couldn’t find any other resource that takes pupils slowly through all the different types of question.
Edit: added Indices Summary Powerpoint/PDF which I print out to give to pupils.
A Power Point showing the most common 3D objects (technically 'shapes' refers to 2D, and 'objects' to 3D).
Useful for an introduction or for revision, and in getting the correct vocabulary
