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 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.
This is a series of PowerPoints and questions introducing and testing knowledge of Distance, Speed and Time. Starting with simple Time questions, pupils will learn how to recognise different types of DST question, and how to solve them.
- Some introductory questions that check pupils can convert between 12hr and 24hr time, and convert between hours and minutes
- Checking pupils can recognise whether they are being asked a Distance, Speed or Time question.
- Estimating speeds of different forms of transport
- A class project for each group to work out the time it takes to get somewhere, by different forms of transport
- A couple of PowerPoints on timetables
DST Starters
- Some standard test-level DST questions
- A spreadsheet and graph of the distance from school and time it takes to get there from one example class.
A mix of resources covering everything in National 3 Mathematics.
This was originally written for Access 3 a couple of years ago, and so is roughly grouped by the three Units of Access 3.
Covers things like fractions, decimals, percentages, money, time etc.
Two worksheets, testing basic probability with dice, coloured balls and letters. The second worksheet is more difficult and introduces sampling with and without replacement.
Full solutions included.
Edit: May 2023 fixed question numbering
Edit: July 2024 added a Powerpoint for finding the probability with two events, explaining when to add and when to multiply the two probabilities
A set of 13 fun questions on a halloween theme, tailored to test
- decimals
- large numbers (million and billlion)
- problem solving.
Solutions included.
This is an extension of an easier Halloween maths Quiz on TES from rjcarter68, available here:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/hallowe-en-maths-quiz-6121671
Two pages of simplification, beginning easy (finding fractions equivalent to 1/2) and building up to more difficult questions (simplify 14/49).
The aim is to highlight the similarity between finding equivalent fractions and simplifying, so pupils will recognise that they are really the same thing.
Good for lower ability classes.
Three sets of questions revising:
- Trig Graphs
- Sine Rule, Cosine Rule and Area of Triangle
(everything except trig identities)
Plus an extra couple of questions as a Homework
Edit: added some Powerpoint slides for revision
Provided with full worked solutions
A series of questions to demonstrate similarity between similar rectangles and triangles, including more complicated diagrams with multiple triangles
Solutions included at the bottom of each slide, and extra practice questions at the end.
Edit: added some 3D examples
Edit: added summary sheet
A fun activity to be done alone or in pairs. The first puzzle is easier (no subtracting negatives) and the second one includes subtracting negatives.
Based on original from eam_larkin.
A bumper collection of resources for Factorizing Quadratics, including various activities and games and plenty of practice questions, which also include the other types of factorising required for KS4 or National 5 in Scotland.
- Jokes and riddles for factorising trinomials
- Catchphrase for factorising trinomials
- Quadratic problems for real life problems, with trinomials, completing square and finding roots
- Extra questions, with five pages of simple factorisation, difference of squares, trinomials and problem solving
All provided with answers
A fun activity to do alone or in pairs. Tests simple negative number skills (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing). Solution provided.
Based on an original by eam_larkin.
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!
This is a free-standing resource on simple percentages
It involves questions like 50% of 24 up to 60% of 20 and 25% of 24.
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.

All included with full solutions. If you spot any mistakes please let me know.
Last update: March 2023
An investigation for pupils about the classic Four Colour Theorem.
Some background and examples, then a chance for them to have a go at.
Makes a change from the usual end-of-term colouring!
This is an investigation for the whole class to do at the same time, investigating the seemingly simple idea of the four corners of a rectangle.
It will force pupils to get out of the simple thinking that every rectangle has to be lined up with the co-ordinate axes, with a horizontal base and vertical sides.
Can be done visually, or for more able pupils with algebra and straight lines.
Full solutions included.
A range of activities to celebrate March 14th (3.14), Pi Day!
- whole class quiz
- mnemonic activity (making up sentences)
- three Pi Challenges involving some maths
