A whole class activity to practise basic skills of adding and subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Three different difficulties.

A Powerpoint presentation I used to introduce a class of smart 16 year olds to some of the simple visual aspects of Topology, with plenty of pictures, strange facts, and links to videos.

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 a thought provoking activity about how many variables are needed to describe a shape. For example, if you don’t care about size, rotation or position all squares are the same. To define size, one variable is needed. To define rotation, one variable is needed. To define position in the 2D plane, two variables are needed. So to fully define any square requires four variables. There are many possible different choices for these four. (Updated 2023)

A fun activity to practice learning about the straight line. Includes - drawing graph from data points - working out the gradient - working out the y-intercept - working out the equation of a line from the graph - using the equation to interpolate missing points Solutions included

Proofs of some of the key formulas in Advanced Higher Statistics. Not required for the course but some pupils (and teachers) may find it interesting. proof the two ways of writing the variance formula are equivalent proof that using the ‘divide by n-1’ formula gives the best estimate of a population variance proof of Bayes Theorem proof of laws of expectation and variance proof of the origin of the Poisson formula, and of the mean and variance proof of mean and variance for uniform discrete proof of mean and variance for uniform continuous proof that using proportions and the normal approximation to a binomial are equivalent proof a line of best fit goes through the average point proof the line of best fit gives the least squares proof of SSR formula proof in bivariate analysis DF=n-2 proof test slope parameter nonzero and coefficient of correlation nonzero are equivalent

Three examples of how matrices can be used to solve real problems. Requires knowledge of matrix multiplication matrix inverses simple probability Aimed at Advanced Higher Maths but useful for anyone who wants to answer the question ‘what are matrices used for’.

Questions and solutions on linear regression: AH Statistics Linear Regression Questions - estimating the value of r, then calculating all of the information by hand from the table of values. Full solutions included. AH Statistics Regression.pdf - harder questions testing some theoretical topics AH Statistics Confidence and Prediction Intervals for Regression - questions AH Statistics Hypothesis Testing in Regression Analysis - longer explanation and questions on the beta and rho tests AH Statistics Linear Regression Running Times - a Paper 1 style practice question AH Statistics Regression FlowChart - a suggested order in which to approach bivariate data (data with two variables), starting with approximate methods and checking the validity of the model as you go.

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 without using any advanced techniques. Full solutions included. Edit: Added two more puzzles

Thirteen homeworks each with full solutions, covering the following areas of the course. 1 - Probability 2 - Probability, Sampling, Binomial 3 - Probability, Sampling, Binomial 4 - Binomial, Normal, Poisson #1 5 - Distributions 5a - Distributions and Regressions 6 - Hypothesis Test 7 - Normal Approximation 8 - Control charts, Confidence Interval, Fences 9 - Mean and Variance 10 - Binomial, Normal, Poisson #2 11 - Z and T tests 12 - More Distributions 13 - Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney For some of the homeworks (2,3,5) I have made slightly different alternative versions and they are included too. Update: homeworks 2,5,7 updated March 2023

A set of multi-part questions covering both chi-squared test for association and goodness of fit A set of questions building up to using chi-squared to work out whether a Binomial or Poisson distribution fits the data Both provided with full solutions.

15 numeracy questions of increasing difficulty. Multiple copies should be printed out (one-sided) and each team starts on Q1. When they bring you the answer to that they get Q2, and so on. Topics covered: percentages simple algebra angles in a triangle/quadrilateral time Included with answers.

A rare chance to see the first ever use of an equals sign "for what could be more equal than two parallel lines" and therefore the first ever equation. Pupils can read the Olde English, translate it into modern equations, then solve them. The first two are linear, the remaining four quadratic. Provided with full solutions.

A problem solving project where pupils use Pythagoras to find how far away the horizon is, depending on your height about sea level. This is an open-ended project, where rather than being given all the information up front the pupils have to work in groups to explore the problem, then reflect on what techniques were effective. It practices several useful skills such as Pythagoras, circle geometry, expanding brackets and rearranging formulas. There is the scope for very good pupils to extend the project in interesting directions.

A collection of five nicely presented powerpoints each with 5-10 logic puzzles, taken from the books of Raymond Smullyan. For example: Knights always tell the truth and Knaves always lie. You meet two people. The first says “At least one of us is telling the truth.” What can you say about the two people? All provided with answers, and references from which Raymond Smullyan book they are taken from.

A variety of resources for pupils to master Excel. Starts with a simple introduction then moves on to using it to run statistical tests. Although this isn’t part of the syllabus it’s useful for pupils to be able to check their answers, and learn some useful skills. AH Statistics - Simple Activities to learn Excel AH Statistics - How to draw a graph in Excel AH Statistics - Excel AH Statistics - Excel (solutions) AH Statistics - More Excel

This resource is designed to give pupils much-needed practice on where points move after a transformation, for example: Where does the point (2,4) on the graph f(x) appear on the graph 3f(x)+1? The first questions are basic practice then pupils look at progressively more complicated graphs, including some practice finding the turning points and range and domain. Provided with solutions.

A series of practice questions on the following converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying fractions converting between fractions, decimals and percentages Included with answers Edit 2022 -added More Fractions Powerpoint and PDF

A fun lesson with shapes for pupils to cut out and reform. Everyone should have fun with this. Although even young children can understand dissection it hides complicated mathematics in geometry in proof. The dissections to try here are: - A rectangle into a square with one cut - A vase into a square - An equilateral triangle into a square - A 8 by 8 square into a 13 by 5 rectangle (!) - A couple of miscellaneous shapes - An approximate dissection of a circle into a square
