(Extra question set of mixed questions included 2021)
A six-page worksheet with hundreds of questions broken down into topics, with a key rule followed by practice questions. It starts simple with positive indices then covers all other areas. Topics are:
- multiplying and dividing
- powers of powers
- numbers in brackets
- numbers and letters
- to the power zero and one
- negative powers
- square roots
- fractional powers
- fractional negative powers
Provided with answers in the same document.
I wrote this as I couldn’t find any other resource that takes pupils slowly through all the different types of question.
Edit: added Indices Summary Powerpoint/PDF which I print out to give to pupils.
A Power Point showing the most common 3D objects (technically 'shapes' refers to 2D, and 'objects' to 3D).
Useful for an introduction or for revision, and in getting the correct vocabulary

Practice in forming and solving simultaneous equations.
We often talk about equations being 'in balance' and 'doing the same to both sides'. This worksheet makes that visual idea very obvious to pupils as they are presented with a series of balanced seesaws with animals on them. Each pair of seesaws leads to a pair of simultaneous equations, which can then be solved in the usual way, to find the weight of each animal.
Provided with solutions.
This is an investigation into Pythagorean triples. Pupils will discover more triples, and also investigate using algebra to get a general solution. During the project they will learn to appreciate the value of working generally with algebra to find all solutions.
Skills used:
- Pythagoras (of course)
- Fractions, including adding fractions
- Algebra
Full solutions included.
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 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 series of worksheets with practice questions on topics in the Advanced Higher Mechanics Course:
- Centre of Mass, Energy, Freefall, Gravity, Momentum, Projectiles, Vectors, Work Energy & Power, Vectors Closest Approach, Circular Motion (including notes), SHM (including notes), mix of SUVAT/Kinetmatics/Vectors
All with full solutions

A mixed homework with questions on arithmetic and geometric sequences, as well as practice complex numbers, binomial theorem and Gaussian elimination.
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.
If everyone has to keep two metres apart, how many people can you fit in a room?
This is a series of five challenges, each involving a room more difficult than the one before. Although it is not obvious to begin with, pupils will need to use Pythagoras to check that their people are all at least two metres apart.
Full solutions included.
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 four pre-printed distance-time graphs for pupils to interpret.
Their answers should be sentences such as "go at 4 metres per second for 3 seconds, then pause for 2 seconds, then ..."
