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.
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
Two Powerpoints for introducing and practicing standard deviation.
Standard Deviation ‘What it Means’ introduces the idea of spread with some examples then gives the full standard deviation for pupils to practice.
Standard Deviation ‘Practice Questions’ gives some examples for pupils to practice and full solutions.
I’ve also included short versions of each Powerpoint as a PDF if you prefer to use these as handouts.
Four worksheets of vectors questions all with full solutions
Vectors #1 Column Vectors - writing as a column vector
Vectors #2 Addition and Magnitude - add, subtract, find magnitude in 2D and 3D
Vectors #3 Pathways and Coordinates - reading pathways, midpoints, 3D coordinates (answer fixed June 2024)
Vectors #4 Mix - magnitude, adding, 3D coordinates, pathways
Two videos on the cosine rule:
missing angle
missing side
And a third video:
which one of Sine rule or Cosine rule to use?
All the videos are compressed mp4
Extension questions testing
numeracy, e.g. what are the prime factors of 1001
logic, e.g. how many false statements are in the list below:
There is exactly one false statement in this list.
There are exactly two false statements in this list.
There are exactly three false statements in this list.
Provided with answers
Seven christmas themed questions on the following topics:
adding fractions, angles in triangles, dividing with fractions, substitution, negative numbers
Practice questions to help pupils prepare for the UKMT Junior challenge.
Mix #1 - divisibility, primes, symmetry, counting, angles, remainders, averages, Venn diagrams
Mix #2 - DST, probability, counting
Angles - triangles, straight lines, regular polygons
All provided with answers (full solutions for the problems I made up myself)
2021 - added some similar questions designed to practice the JMC (Junior Maths Challenge, a similar Scottish Competition)
Four challenging problems as extension material.
The first is to make the number 2021 from the numbers 10,9,8,…,3,2,1 in order.
The other three are tough too!
Solutions at the bottom of each slide.
A set of three powerpoints with riddles on such as this:
Clock A is broken. It never moves.
Clock B loses 10 minutes an hour.
If both clock are right at the very start of 2021, how often are they each right in the whole year?
Provided with solutions at the bottom of each slide.

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.
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’.
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
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.
