Is every square a rectangle? Is every rectangle a square? An investigation into the properties of the quadrilaterals, working out their properties and which ones are similar. Includes a look into Venn Diagrams and a couple of area challenges at the end. Notes and answers at the bottom of each slide.

Seven christmas themed questions on the following topics: adding fractions, angles in triangles, dividing with fractions, substitution, negative numbers

A chance for pupils to have fun with some numeracy and make a Power Point presentation researching how they would spend £1000. Includes an example (by me) and some results from a class of 15 year olds.

A bumper set of National 5 Maths resources grouped by topic. Five sets of Questions by Topic Four sets of Revision questions by Topic Whole Course Topic by Topic More Whole Course Topic by Topic Example Questions and Answers Covers everything in National 5: Fractions, Percentages, Inequalities, Straight Line, Brackets, Rearranging equations, Simultaneous equations, Area and perimeter, Function notation, Arcs and sectors, Volume, Pythagoras, Similarity, Quadratics, Trigonometry All provided with solutions

A treasure hunt to revise Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. Print out the A4 clues and put them on the walls. Pupils can work in pairs and start anywhere. They solve any clue (e.g. 30% of 90) then find the clue with that answer on it and carry on from there. Answers provided.

A one page Powerpoint using 3D coordinates to introduce how to find the distance from one corner to the opposite in a cuboid.

An interactive activity teaching pupils a few simple memory techniques

Two Powerpoint slides of more quadratic problems - e.g. path of a projectile, minimum area etc. Answers 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.

A Powerpoint / PDF giving the Indices Rules with some examples - I have printed these two-sided and laminated these for lots of pupils Also a few practice questions on Surds and Indices to diagnose what they need to practice.

Three Powerpoints with simple questions on percentage change finding a percentage -percentage increase or decrease with extension questions on reverse percentage Edit: added another powerpoint of mixed questions, a summary sheet, and a worksheet

This is to introduce pupils to decimals, using a context they are probably already familiar with (the time to run the 100 metres). Pupils work in pairs to complete some exercises looking up times, then get familiar with a stopwatch, then compare some decimal times.

A series of eight small sets of printable questions, each followed by an estimation question on the Powerpoint which uses the answers you have just calculated. The class work on the sets of questions individually then all attempt to estimate the final answer. I have found this very effective as a general revision activity with pupils in teams, scoring points out of 5 for the revision questions, and also a mark out of 5 for the quality of each estimate. The numeracy skills revised are: 1 - Rounding 2 - Perimeter and Area 3 - Angles 4 - Long Multiplication 5 - Units 6 - Decimals 7 - Big Numbers 8 - Time Provided with answers.

Tired of your usual lesson starters? These six Power Points are on - how old are you in seconds - using coins - a famous question solved by Gauss - penguins - pandas - temperature in the UK and US

Pupils learn about money and get the chance to design their own coins. Practices simple skills with money and deicmals, and gets them thinking about currencies in general with some extension questions. This activity is inspired by the Scottish Independence Referendum of 2014.

An introduction to time. Reading the time from clocks, then difference between two times, and finally a challenge with times in the school weak. Full solutions provided.

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.

A PowerPoint introduction and worksheet about gradient.

Several revision Powerpoints and mixed revision worksheets. Many topics covered but in particular Binomial Theorem, Complex Numbers, Partial Fractions, Euclid and Proof. All with either short answers or full solutions Includes topic-specific revision material on the following topics, as Powerpoints and PDFs. Binomial Theorem Complex Numbers Binomial Theorem and Complex Numbers Loci of Complex Numbers Matrices Number Theory Partial Fractions Indices (revision of easier material to help with binomial theorem) Sequences

Many powerpoints, worksheets and a homework with mixed revision questions. Topic specific revision questions on the following topics, as both Powerpoints and PDFs. Circles Complete the Square Differentiation Functions Log Graphs M=tan theta Polynomials Straight Line Straight Line & Functions
