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.

This is a free-standing resource on multiplication (and addition) of decimals It involves multiplications like 4 x 0.64 up to things like 11 x 1.25 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. [Edit - following a comment by angelpax I've fixed the phrase at the end]

A series of two part problems in the style of exam questions. Part (a) of each question is a proof using the trig identities. Part (b) then uses that proof to either solve a trig equation, find an integral, or differentiate to find the equation of a tangent. Answers given at the end.

An introduction to Game Theory that I gave to a class of smart 16 year olds. Introduces the idea of a game, and gives some examples of simple two player games and up to zero sum games. Some fun examples of games you can play in class!

A simple world map Starter Question introducing the idea of co-ordinates with longitude and latitude.

A powerpoint of short mixed revision questions. On the topics of negative numbers, brackets, solving equations, expand and simplify and then mixed revision. Can be used as a starter or revision.

A simple one-page practice on finding the area of lots of circles given the diameter or radius. Later questions are just fractions of circles.

Two Power Point slides of lesson starters for Distance Speed Time. The first involves reading a timetable, converting the time from hours and minutes to hours, then finding a speed (and for advanced pupils thinking about why the speed is so slow). The second will take longer and involves converting m/s to km/h, then an extended question about a boat journey which involves a few calculations then drawing a distance-time graph. Solutions included on the Power Points.
