A series of five activities to help you learn how to use Excel, with an emphasis on mathematical formulae. The skills learned are: - using formulas (like mean, maximum etc.) - plotting graphs - colour coding cells

A whole class activity: - a picture is cut into pieces - each pupil makes a scale drawing of their part - the class put them all together Good for practicing scale drawings and having some fun.

Bridge is a card game that is great for teamwork and developing logical thinking. There are proven benefits to cognitive skills for children and adults. For more about the benefits see the attached 'What is Bridge' PDF. This is a set of resources for a school bridge club, or anyone wanting to learn more. It starts with Whist and Minibridge and goes all the way through to basic bidding:

This is a set of six puzzles presented as large scale Power Points. I used them as colour A3 posters for a monthly maths competition. Although they are challenging, they can all be solved using standard techniques. Full solutions included. Edit: added two more puzzles

A series of fun activities linked to the Olympics. Skills used are: - DST - logic - Stem and Leaf - percentages - rounding

Three standard questions testing pupils can correctly use the Wilxocon test, for determining if there is a difference between two sets of data. There are also two extension questions. Provided with full solutions.

A series of seven Power Points with collections of questions that appear one at a time on the following topics: - adding (e.g. 20p add 50p) - which is bigger (pictures of coins) - count (counting coins) - divide (quarter of 80p) - how many coins (needed to make 13p) - multiply (2 x 29 pence) - subtract (£1 minus 45 pence)

Three homeworks and a set of extended questions on the topics of Expansions with the Binomial Theorem Using Partial Fractions Complex Numbers, operations, polynomials, Argand diagrams and De Moivres Theorem All provided with comprehensive solutions

A series of examples and full solutions on the following topics - Volume of a Prism (cuboids, cylinders and triangular prisms) - Surface Area of a Prism (cuboids, cylinders and other prisms)

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

This is a series of worksheets testing a range of algebra skills. This is the rough order of increasing difficulty: Simplify and Brackets - Simplify 2t + 5t - Simplify 2(x+3) – 4 Substitution - If a = 3 and b = 2 find 3a – b Inequalities - Find the set of dice rolls where x > 3 - Find two consecutive numbers that add up to eleven Full solutions included.

Four worksheets of vectors questions all with full solutions Vectors #1 Column Vectors - writing as a column vector Vectors #2 Addition and Magnitude - add, subtract, find magnitude in 2D and 3D Vectors #3 Pathways and Coordinates - reading pathways, midpoints, 3D coordinates (answer fixed June 2024) Vectors #4 Mix - magnitude, adding, 3D coordinates, pathways

Three different 'think of a number' activities for pupils to work through, be amazed by, and then investigate the algebra.

A set of worksheets building up to an investigation about the time it takes for an object to drop that can be done in the classroom to practice the skills learned. The sections are: - Basic Skills (factorising, simplifying fractions, solving equations) - Questions (rearranging linear formulas, quadratic formulas, and more difficult formulas too) - Investigation (how long it takes a ball to drop, using a formula and testing it) All provided with full solutions

A series of two part problems in the style of exam questions. Part (a) of each question is a proof using the trig identities. Part (b) then uses that proof to either solve a trig equation, find an integral, or differentiate to find the equation of a tangent. Answers given at the end.

Two starters on calculating back bearings. The first relies on estimating bearings, the second on calculating a back bearing from a given bearings.

Tips, questions, and solutions covering the following topics: Sequences, Lines, Circles, Vectors, Logs, Polynomials and Functions. Edit: Added 2023 exam tips

Two Power Point slides of lesson starters for Distance Speed Time. The first involves reading a timetable, converting the time from hours and minutes to hours, then finding a speed (and for advanced pupils thinking about why the speed is so slow). The second will take longer and involves converting m/s to km/h, then an extended question about a boat journey which involves a few calculations then drawing a distance-time graph. Solutions included on the Power Points.

A PowerPoint introduction and worksheet about gradient.

A Power Point to (start to) answer the question of why we have 60 minutes in an hour. Wouldn't it be much easier if there were 100? Includes a few simple questions for pupils on finding fractions of 60.
