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

A powerpoint with one question - exploring why going from 20 to 25 is not the same as going from 25 to 20.

A fascinating activity encouraging pupils to think about 'Fixed Points', things that stay the same when there is a change. For example, in the doubling function 0 is a fixed point as doubling keeps it the same. These fixed points have surprising applications, including the amazing result that if you scrunch up one piece of paper and put it on top of a flat identical piece, at least one point is in the same place! Pupils are guided along with a presentation with things for them to think about along the way. Some of the language is GCSE level but the ideas are applicable for all ages.

A financial activity to design your own bedroom and pay for it. You will need something like the Argos Catalogue (or IKEA catalogue) to use.

A short Power Point explaining what VAT is, what you have to pay it on, and finishing with a question about Jaffa Cakes. Answers included on the Power Point.

Bridge is a card game that is great for teamwork and developing logical thinking. There are proven benefits to cognitive skills for children and adults. For more about the benefits see the attached 'What is Bridge' PDF. This is a set of resources for a school bridge club, or anyone wanting to learn more. It starts with Whist and Minibridge and goes all the way through to basic bidding:

Instructions to make your own net of a cube, then a series of example nets - can you work out which ones form a cube? Answers now on the Power Point.

A fun challenge to try and work out the maths behind the fact that a dog will take the optimal path into a river to get a ball. Needs knowledge of visualising 2D motion distance speed time finding the minimum of a quadratic Provided with solutions

Practice questions covering Western Electric Rules Determining if a system is in statistical control Calculating upper and lower control limits Working backwards from limits to finding standard deviation or sample size Finding the probability of a rule being broken Provided with solutions

Revision resources targeting a particular area of the course. Each consists of a set of questions and full solutions. Chi Squared Distributions Mann Whitney Probability Regression Sampling Z and T Tests

An introduction, with simple questions on each of Distance, Time and Speed, then mixed questions. Full solutions provided.

A fun activity to solve numeracy problems in a team. Two difficulties and full solutions provided.

This is a series of questions aimed at making pupils more comfortable with dealing with formulas with fractions in them. I made this worksheet in response to a very bright class who had no problems with most formula but struggled rearranging fractions. Full solutions included. Edit: added another powerpoint of more questions

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 series of fun challenges working out what comes next. Some are mathematical, some require more lateral thinking. Good as an extension activity. Full solutions provided.

A fun activity looking at number and letter palindromes. Works well for homework. Full solutions included.

These are a series of fractions problems set in real life contexts. They all involve percentages that can be converted into simple fractions, such as 10% = 1/10. Because of the real life contexts and gradually increasing difficulty I have found that even pupils who normally struggle will be keen to finish the sheet.

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.

This is four different whole class activities practising times tables. There are four versions of the same game, with increasing difficulty: - easy multiplication, up to 7 x 7. - slightly harder multiplication, up to 8 x 8 or 9 x 7. - all multiplication up to 9 x 9, with few easy questions - all multiplication up to 12 x 12.
