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.
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

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).
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

A set of six challenging problems where pupils must use all the digits 1-9 exactly once each, for example:
Find two three-digit numbers that sum to another three-digit number
Solutions provided.
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.
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!
