This is a series of questions aimed at making pupils more comfortable with dealing with formulas with fractions in them.
I made this worksheet in response to a very bright class who had no problems with most formula but struggled rearranging fractions.
Full solutions included.
Edit: added powerpoint of extra questions
Edit: added some textbook change the subject questions with answers
Two pages of Powerpoints with answers on simple questions like
If f(x)=3x+4, find f(5)
Then tests fractions and negatives, and finally more difficult questions like
If f(x)=3x+4, and f(a)=19, find a
A set of five harder problems about finding the mean which involve pupils using the fact that the total is the number of data points times the mean (or using algebra).
Provided with solutions.
A set of 13 practice assessments covering all aspects of the National 5 Course. Each one is laid out with space for write-on answers, and provided with solutions.
Edit: Added assessments 14-17
Two extra tasks for pupils doing the Higher Statistics Module.
Task 1 is using Excel to analyse some Covid infection data using regression analysis. This has example solutions inline.
Task 2 is conducting a survey . Included are example model solutions…
A teacher-led Powerpoint investigation into randomness to be done at the end of a topic about probability. The five short topics are
Pick a random number
Heads and Tails experiment
Lottery Random numbers
Digits of Pi
What is randomness?
The aim is for pupils to understand that ‘random’ isn’t truly random after all!
A Powerpoint with the classic Monty Hall Problem, then variations with
a multiple choice questions
one hundred doors
ten prisoners
Solutions in the notes at the bottom of the Powerpoint slides
A Powerpoint introducing the following tricky problems for pupils to think about.
-99 Coins
100 Seats on a Plane
Special dice
Expected wait time
Pascal’s Wager
Solutions in the notes at the bottom on the Powerpoint

A Powerpoint introducing the basic game of Dobble, then delving deeply into how to arrange the symbols on the cards so that each pair of cards matches exactly once.
Pupils will be able to make their own mini Dobble sets, with 7, 13, 21 or even up to the full 55 card set.
This introduces uses the following areas of mathematics
2D geometry of lines and planes
Magic squares and Latin squares
Duality is an important concept in understanding mathematical problems. Sometimes a problem can be ‘reveresed’ by considering it’s dual, for example swapping around lines and points in a triangle.
This Powerpoint looks at how duality appears in the following contexts
division and subtraction
2D shapes and 3D shapes
2D graphs including the Fano Plane
Magic Squares are just the beginning!
A Latin square is a grid where each symbol appears exactly once in each row a column - recognisable to most pupils as being like a Su Doku.
This resources extends that idea to look at double and further Latin Squares. These are useful for many things (see e.g. my other resource on Dobble)
A colourful poweroint introducing a new idea for most pupils.
In standard 2D geometry parallel lines never meet. In projective geometry we add an extra point (infinity) where the lines meet. This turns out to be useful for various problems (e.g. see my other resource on Dobble).
