Practice Questions on one-sample and two-sample versions of the following tests • z-test for a difference in population means • t-test for a difference in population means (including paired) • z-test for a difference in population proportions

A powerpoint with some simple questions converting between binary and decimal. Answers provided

These two activities extend from 3 by 3 to 4 by 4 magic squares. Pupils design an individual magic square then search for groups of four numbes that add up to 34 (there are lots). Good practice with simple addition and subtraction strengthening number bonds, then for more advanced pupils using algebra to get a more general solution Edit: Added a bank of more 4 by 4 magic squares that pupils can use to find more groups of 34

Six classic maths problems from the 1150 AD book called Lilivati, each presented as a poem and with a short story to introduce the book. All of the problems involve forming and solving equations, and they also practice: - simultaneous equations - adding and multiplying fractions - square roots - Pythagoras Full solutions included.

A series of seven Power Points with collections of questions that appear one at a time on the following topics: - adding (e.g. 20p add 50p) - which is bigger (pictures of coins) - count (counting coins) - divide (quarter of 80p) - how many coins (needed to make 13p) - multiply (2 x 29 pence) - subtract (£1 minus 45 pence)
