This is a free-standing resource on addition and subtraction of decimals It involves additions like 1.3 + 2.8 and 1.3 - 0.34 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 collection of useful resources for preparing pupils for the Finance part of National 4 Lifeskills. Includes revision materials, a practice test, and a resit test if required.

A series of simple questions that I used over the Summer Holidays to prepare pupils for Higher Mathematics. Topics include - mixed arithmetic, negatives, algebra, fractions, algebra, surds, trigonometry, notation, indices, and some more complicated algebra

Pupils add fractions by shading squares. Simple at first, but gradually they build up to understanding why for example 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6 Good for lower ability classes who benefit from a visual representation

This is a free-standing resource on addition and subtraction of whole numbers. It involves additions like 12 + 29 or 145 - 56 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.

Some easy questions as lesson starters. - Finding simple percentages, like 10% or 15% - Finding any percentage, like 23% or 92% - Finding percentage increases and decreases - Converting between fractions, percentages, decimals Answers included on the Power Point.

Four different homeworks for this SQA course, covering all of basic statistics. Each is included with full solutions, including Excel work.

A set of Powerpoints revising all aspects of National 5 Mathematics. Useful for extended lesson starters or exam revision. These are the Powerpoints N5 Calculator Revision N5 Non-Calculator Revision N5 Topic by Topic Revision N5 Mixed Revision Set A N5 Mixed Revision Set B N5 Mixed Revision Set C (Harder) All provided with answers.

A series of questions to practice learning about the straight line. Each one is based on a real life linear relationship, which pupils investigate. For a good class will take about an hour to do thoroughly Skills used: - 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 Full solutions included

This is a free-standing resource on simple fractions. It involves questions like 1/4 of 20 up to things like 3/7 of 14. 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 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)

A set of resources for whole class bingo. All the questions are pretty easy. Covering these topics: - decimals - fractions - money - whole numbers - coins (more money)

A fun activity to do alone or in pairs. Tests simple fraction skills (adding, simplifying, some equivalent fractions). Solution provided. Based on an original by eam_larkin.

When a pupil asked “what do we need to know for the exam” this is what I wrote. It covers every topic in National 5 maths, with examples of the formulas then ones for you to try (reading isn’t enough in maths, you need to do the problems yourself). The formulas that are in grey are the ones that you are given in the exam, but I included here anyway. Edit: Jan 2022 fixed two mistakes with indices

A worksheet with explanations then questions on radians. Includes converting to and from degrees.

Four sets of simple questions for pupils to practice basic skills with fractions, percentages and decimals. Good for revision or consolidation. Includes - converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages - ordering a mixed list of all three - equivalent fractions - adding fractions - mixed numbers and improper fractions Solutions included.

A series of three Power Point slides on tricky log questions. Useful for revision of Higher Maths. Edit: added logs and exponential graphs.

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

What do you do when there's not enough information to solve a problem - or too much? This presentation and activities aims to teach pupils how to handle more difficult problems when it's not clear what to do. There are multiple examples from algebra, geometry and trigonometry.

A worksheet with five real-life problems that require using very big or very small numbers - How far does the Earth travel in one second - How many Earth's fit in the sun - How long does it take for the Sun's light to reach us - How long does it take to get a radio signal to Mars - How many atoms are in the Earth These require a bit of other basic mathematical knowledge (e.g. area of circle) but mostly pupils are lead through each problem in stages. Full solutions included at the end.
