A worksheet investigating different coins, and using them to add up to different amounts. Starts easy, then challenging at the end.
Practice for arithmetic, dealing with decimals, and basic numeracy.
Full solutions included.
Now includes accompanying Power Point which revises lots of the same skills.
This will introduce the topics of 3D volume and surface area, and also provide some challenging extension questions.
A set of four worksheets on
- Basic Skills (rounding, 2D perimeter and area, 3D volume and surface area)
- Problems (real life problems involving volume and surface area of cuboids, cylinders, cones and spheres)
- Units (converting between e.g. square metres and square centimetres)
- Extensions to the Problems (revisiting the problems with converting units and more in-depth calculations)
All provided with solutions.
Also includes a Power Point for some revision
This is two worksheets practicing some important basic skills.
The first worksheet is powers of ten and multiplication.
The second worksheet introduces two-step multiplication (e.g. multiplying by 20 is ×2 and ×10) and division.
Full solutions included.
This is an investigation for pupils to discover that the more sides you have on a polygon, the closer the area comes to that of a circle. In fact, using polygons was how people once estimated pi.
Skills used
- trigonometry
- area
- algebra
- Pythagoras
Full solutions included.
This is a series of tricky challenges to complement usual class work, using a full range of maths skills:
- trigonometry
- simultaneous equations
- algebra
- fractions
- area
- logic
Can be used as extensions or homework.
Full solutions included.
This is Power Point and practice questions to get pupils comfortable with subtracting a negative number. Rather than just stating that “it’s the same as adding” they will learn to do this instinctively, by thinking about temperature.
Full solutions provided.
This is an investigation into Pythagorean triples. Pupils will discover more triples, and also investigate using algebra to get a general solution. During the project they will learn to appreciate the value of working generally with algebra to find all solutions.
Skills used:
- Pythagoras (of course)
- Fractions, including adding fractions
- Algebra
Full solutions included.
A fun activity to practice using simple tally marks, investigate a few other systems, then make up their own.
Works especially well with low-ability classes, who all like making up their own tally systems.
This is a 2-page write on worksheet that tests these basic skills:
- Lines of symmetry
- Names of 2D shapes
- 2D shapes that can be convex and non-convex
Pupils can write directly on the sheet.
Full solutions included.
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.
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
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.
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
This is a free-standing resource on addition and subtraction of whole numbers.
It involves additions like 12 + 29 or 145 - 56
