This is an investigation into the different uses of stones and pounds (UK), pounds (USA) and kilograms (Europe) for weighing people. By the end pupils should be able to convert between the units effectively. Skills used: - Mental arithmetic - Converting between units - Rounding (the conversion numbers are approximate only) Full solutions provided on the Power Points. Now includes some extra revision, (to be used a month after initial lessons) and a picture of 'The Kilogram' (housed in a secret bunker somewhere near Paris).

An interactive Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game focused on numeracy questions. The questions near the end get very tricky! They are on the following topics - percentage, area, ratio, factorising, probability, volume, negative numbers, difference of squares, scale factors, angles, sequences, DST I normally do this with pupils writing their letters on mini-whiteboards before the right answer is displayed, and you can also do something with the lifelines if you like.

A PowerPoint introduction and worksheet about gradient.

Two sets of questions and solutions on - units of measurement - area of rectangles and triangles - perimeter of rectangles - simple compound shapes Edit: added page of challenge questions

Four Power Point slides on sequences - the first is simple ‘what comes next’ - the second is counting matchsticks and finding a formula - the third is formally finding a linking formula between ‘S’ and ‘T’ - the fourth is more practice finding and using the relationship between ‘S’ and ‘T’ If you like more challenging ‘What Comes Next’ problems see my separate resource on that. A practice test on sequences. Full solutions attached.

A set of revision questions involving bearings and then bearings with trigonometry - something pupils usually need a lot of practice on. Edit: added solutions October 2024

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.

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.

A series of six questions on the Mann-Whitney test, including dealing with ties and the normal approximation (the data in these questions is not mine and is taken from various sources). A Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney homework Both provided with full solutions

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.

Three worksheets for pupils to become familiar with using a TI82 (or similar) Graphics Calculator. Calculator Guide. Explains how to do Basic Navigation, Basic Maths, Statistical Distributions and Statistical Tests. Calculator Practice. Some practice questions to be solved by Graphic Calculator. Solutions at the end. TI82 Stats Calculator Questions. A Powerpoint with some more practice

Eleven fun questions based on the Scottish Advanced Higher Statistics course, also applicable to the English Statistics A level. Questions are on a Powerpoint and full solutions on a PDF. Topics covered include: conditional probability, regression analysis, confidence intervals, paired t-test, Poisson distribution, Binomial distribution, Chi-squared distribution, Continuous uniform distribution and Normal distribution. Edit: updated May 2023

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.

Four sets of revision questions on the following topics - factorising straight line algebraic fractions. surds (including revision of vectors and straight line) Each question has four possible answers. Pupils could work in groups in class, or this could be used as homework, or anything else you can think of. Answer key included at the end of each set of questions.

Four Powerpoint slides and a worksheet revising Straight Line Identifying the equation from a graph Finding the gradient and equation from two points Finding a parallel line Vertical and Horizontal lines Sketching straight lines Solutions at the bottom of each Powerpoint

Practice ratio questions on simplifying ratios dividing a sum ratio problems Extension problems included too, and answers. 2021 - added a ratio homework with answers

An investigation into how many people can fit in a room while keeping two metres apart. There are three main spacings: square (the first one you think of) hexagonal irregular This is an interesting read for those mathematically minded

Two sets of questions (non-calculator and calculator) practicing Fractions -equivalent adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying Order of Operations Highest common factor Prime factorisation Expressing as a percentage and finding a percentage Square roots, and cube roots and squaring Algebra - solving simple equations, simplifying, substitution Rounding to one decimal place Answers provided too.

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.
