This set of arithmetic worksheets is written and illustrated for adults and older teenagers who want to improve their basic arithmetic skills but it is also suitable for younger age groups. It is ideal for helping people to practise their times tables.
These SKILLSHEETS show students the basic principles behind multiplication and division and the connections between them. The book is structured to ensure progression from the idea of counting objects in groups to memorising multiplication facts and using formal and informal methods with understanding to solve problems.
Each times table has its own page.
There are plenty of examples of how to use tricks and patterns to work out complicated multiplications mentally. Estimation skills are also covered. The word problem sheets throughout the book assess students’ ability to apply their skills to real situations. Knowing when to multiply or divide is as important as knowing how to.
The worksheets on multiplication and division by 10, 100, and 1000 focus on shifting digits’ place value to take students away from the “add a zero to times by ten” idea which causes problems once decimals are involved.
Each worksheet comes in three versions. Monochrome, colour or on-screen completion ( answers need to be checked by a tutor )

This set of arithmetic worksheets is written and illustrated for adults and older teenagers who want to improve their very basic arithmetic skills but it is also suitable for younger age groups.
These SKILLSHEETS are intended to provide practice in basic counting and arithmetic skills. The concepts of addition and subtraction are introduced in a variety of ways using different vocabulary. The first section concentrates on the addition and subtraction of numbers up to ten. Learners are encouraged to see connections between the number bonds.
e.g. 5 + 4 = 9 and 9 - 5 = 4 so that they begin to recall the facts more easily.
4 + 5 = 9 9 - 4 = 5
The later worksheets move students gently on to simple calculations involving numbers up to 100. There is a systematic approach to adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers using constant reinforcement of place value. The main emphasis is on mental calculations though some calculations have been set out vertically to prepare students for more formal methods later. The work is continued to harder examples involving borrowing and carrying in “Arithmetic” SKILLSHEETS.

A colourful powerpoint and three worksheets to introduce or revise how to calculate the volume of a cuboid or cube using the formula. It begins with examples showing how centimetre cubes fit into larger boxes to explain where the formula comes from. There are practical examples plus extension activities for working out missing dimensions of sides and cubing numbers to find the volume of cubes. Enlarging shapes and converting cubic units are also mentioned.
The three worksheets cover three different levels of difficulty and have problems similar to those in the powerpoint.

These 8 worksheets were created to provide useful basic exercises on differentiating and integrating x^n for the first year of A level differentiation. Work through the basic results for x to the power n for positive and negative integers and fractions then apply them to functions that need to be simplified or rewritten before they can be differentiated or integrated.
These sheets are useful for revision or reinforcement. The answers are provided.

8 worksheets designed to improve understanding of this tricky topic for GCSE and A-level students. The graphs are quadratic graphs and approximate solutions are to be found by reading off values or finding points of intersection with appropriate straight lines. For the last pair of worksheets students have to determine which straight line to draw. The worksheets are effectively four pairs of sheets with each pair covering a particular idea.
Some of the questions ask students to verify the answers by solving the equations using factorisation or the quadratic equation formula.
The answers are all provided.

These six worksheets show various graphs that have to be matched to their equations. There are separate worksheets for straight lines, quadratic, cubic and reciprocal graphs plus two mixed worksheets, one suitable for foundation level GCSE. The answers are all provided. The worksheets are also suitable for A-level students who need extra reinforcement.
Some can be worked out using gradients and/or points where the graphs cross the axes or students can also practise simple transformations ( reflection and translation or combinations of these ).
GCSE from 2015 reference A12 Recognise graphs of linear functions, quadratic functions, simple cubic functions and the reciprocal function.
Also supports :
A13 translations and reflections of functions
A10 Identify and interpret gradients and intercepts of linear functions graphically

This colourful powerpoint uses animations and photographs to introduce or revise the vocabulary needed for working with circles e.g. radius, diameter, circumference, centre, circular, semicircle. There is also an accompanying worksheet. Slides require students to draw circles with given dimensions and perform calculations based on circles fitting inside other shapes and vice versa.
The images and animations can also be used to revise area calculations, metric unit conversions, symmetry ( using photographs of car badges for instance ) and locus work. The hardest problem requires a knowledge of Pythagoras to solve it. The slides have notes and suggestions accompanying them.
See my other resource ‘Circles - vocabulary’ which follows on from this one to introduce chords, sectors, segments, arcs and tangents.

This collection of five worksheets ( complete with answers and working out ) covers the basics of multiplying out triple brackets then moves on to using the results in different situations. Students are eased into the topic with a little revision of the multiplying out that they will already have mastered then there is plenty of practise with progressively harder examples of multiplying out triple brackets including those with repeated factors.
The extension sheets include proofs and finding the difference between two expressions ( a challenge in itself to remember to do x³ +3 x² + 3x + 1 )- ( x³ - 3x² + x - 1 ) carefully ! ). Geometric problems involving cube diagrams to illustrate the expansion of ( a + b )³ will provide useful extension work for the brightest GCSE students. Evaluate 1.1³ to show how powers of numbers can be found using expansions.
The sheets could be used independently by your brightest y9s and above as they include instructions.

Three pairs of worksheets with answers that are designed to help students understand the use of the mean as an average when data is added or removed from the calculation.
e.g. the mean weight of 5 people is 70 kg. Another person joins the group and the mean is now 71kg. How much did the sixth person weigh.
A lot of students find it hard to see that if you know the mean of a set of numbers and how many numbers there are then you can find the TOTAL of all the numbers. These questions will make them think about how they can use this idea.

These 7 worksheets are aimed at the new GCSE requirement for students to use and understand Venn diagrams. They approach the topic from different angles using word problems and set notation. The sheets are mainly at foundation level and only include two sets.
Students can shade which areas on the diagram represent particular sets or subsets and then progress to sorting data based on two conditions e.g. Do you drink tea, do you drink coffee ? The later sheets also involve probability questions including conditional probabilties e.g. What is the probability that a swimmer also cycles regularly ? There is also a page for sorting numbers as multiples, factors, primes etc.
The answers are included.

9 worksheets containing linear equations where brackets need to be multiplied out as the first step. The sheets get progressively harder for extra practice or revision. The unknown appears on both sides of the equations. For the first worksheets the answers are all positive whole numbers but later equations have negative or fractional solutions.
Students are asked to check their answers for the first worksheets by putting the solution into both sides of the original equation to make sure it works out the same.
The answers and working out are included.
