A worksheet of practice questions on everything to do with Higher Functions.
domain and range
max value of a function
inverse functions
tangent to a function
showing a function is always positive
sketch of a function
differentiating a function
quadratic inequalities
A series of statistics questions that cover everything that might be needed for an Advanced Higher Geography project. Largely overlaps with Advanced Higher Statistics. Topics included are:
Descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, range, interquartile range, standard deviation, standard error, coefficient of variation)
Inferential statistics (chi-squared)
Linear regression
Nearest Neighbour analysis
Full solutions at the end.
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
A comprehensive set of 15 questions (with a,b,c) testing the following skills
converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers
converting between fractions, decimals and percentages
adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions
finding percentages
applying percentage increase and decrease
Solutions at the end.
These notes complement my Course Notes for this SQA course. They include more further examples, more complicated statistical tests and links to Excel for examples.
Nine provocative questions to get pupils thinking about infinity.
Each one has footnotes on the Powerpoint to guide towards the answer.
What are Zeno’s paradoxes?
Is 0.9999999999999999999… the same as 1?
What is the smallest decimal number more than 3?
What is infinity plus one?
What is Hilbert’s Hotel?
If something is true for the first million numbers, is it true for all the numbers?
What is 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 … equal to?
Are some infinities bigger than others?
Are there more: numbers, fractions, or decimals?
A series of extension projects about counting. Each question is a seemingly simple problem that introduces pupils to combinatorics. For example:
- how many ways can you make change for a pound?
- how many four digit numbers have digits that sum to 9?
A series of four worksheets to progressively introduce pupils to the idea of adding and subtracting fractions by matching the denominators. Rather than just presenting it to them as a rule, they work through simple examples to gain an understanding of what is happening.
I wrote this out of frustration with a poor class who simply didn't seem to understand how fractions worked, and although they could memorise a method, would then misapply it (for example, trying to add three fractions with them was a disaster, until they actually understood what they were doing)
This is a series of worksheets all about finding the area of 2D shapes (quadrilaterals and circles).
- Recognising and naming 2D shapes
- Knowing their properties
- Knowing the formulas for their areas
- Being able to calculate the areas
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.
A thorough test of differentiation skills.
Covers differentiating polynomials and trig (chain rule but no product or quotient rule), tangents and stationary points.
I’ve included the original homework, a version with hints (that my class needed) and full solutions.
Four probability resources: Conditional Probability with tree diagrams, Conditional Probability with Venn diagrams, Conditional Probability with Set Notation, Deadly disease probability question
A short video explaining how to solve a conditional probability problem using tree diagrams.
A video using a Venn Diagram to determine if the events are independent, mutually exclusive, and calculate some conditional probabilities. This is done alongside calculating with a table.
Practice questions with solutions using Set Notation
A classic question on probability with a rare disease
A selection of questions (with full solutions) each asking 'how many ways' can something happen.
Begins with simple problems that are small enough that they can be done without any special technique, then problems that require the 'multiplication principle' then on to permutations and combinations.
A game to revise simple integration.
Each catchphrase picture is hidden behind nine expressions.
Randomly select a pupil, and if they can integrate their chosen expression they get 10 seconds to guess at the picture hidden below.
