Four probability resources: Conditional Probability with tree diagrams, Conditional Probability with Venn diagrams, Conditional Probability with Set Notation, Deadly disease probability question
A short video explaining how to solve a conditional probability problem using tree diagrams.
A video using a Venn Diagram to determine if the events are independent, mutually exclusive, and calculate some conditional probabilities. This is done alongside calculating with a table.
Practice questions with solutions using Set Notation
A classic question on probability with a rare disease
A selection of questions (with full solutions) each asking 'how many ways' can something happen.
Begins with simple problems that are small enough that they can be done without any special technique, then problems that require the 'multiplication principle' then on to permutations and combinations.
A game to revise simple integration.
Each catchphrase picture is hidden behind nine expressions.
Randomly select a pupil, and if they can integrate their chosen expression they get 10 seconds to guess at the picture hidden below.
Is every square a rectangle? Is every rectangle a square?
An investigation into the properties of the quadrilaterals, working out their properties and which ones are similar.
Includes a look into Venn Diagrams and a couple of area challenges at the end.
Notes and answers at the bottom of each slide.
Seven christmas themed questions on the following topics:
adding fractions, angles in triangles, dividing with fractions, substitution, negative numbers
A chance for pupils to have fun with some numeracy and make a Power Point presentation researching how they would spend £1000.
Includes an example (by me) and some results from a class of 15 year olds.

Example Questions and Answers
Covers everything in National 5:
Fractions, Percentages, Inequalities, Straight Line, Brackets, Rearranging equations, Simultaneous equations, Area and perimeter, Function notation, Arcs and sectors, Volume, Pythagoras, Similarity, Quadratics, Trigonometry
All provided with solutions
A treasure hunt to revise Fractions, Decimals and Percentages.
Print out the A4 clues and put them on the walls. Pupils can work in pairs and start anywhere. They solve any clue (e.g. 30% of 90) then find the clue with that answer on it and carry on from there.
Answers provided.
This is a series of tricky challenges to complement usual class work, using a full range of maths skills:
- trigonometry
- simultaneous equations
- algebra
- fractions
- area
- logic
Can be used as extensions or homework.
Full solutions included.
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.
Three Powerpoints with simple questions on
percentage change
finding a percentage
-percentage increase or decrease
with extension questions on reverse percentage
Edit: added another powerpoint of mixed questions, a summary sheet, and a worksheet
This is to introduce pupils to decimals, using a context they are probably already familiar with (the time to run the 100 metres). Pupils work in pairs to complete some exercises looking up times, then get familiar with a stopwatch, then compare some decimal times.
A series of eight small sets of printable questions, each followed by an estimation question on the Powerpoint which uses the answers you have just calculated. The class work on the sets of questions individually then all attempt to estimate the final answer.
I have found this very effective as a general revision activity with pupils in teams, scoring points out of 5 for the revision questions, and also a mark out of 5 for the quality of each estimate.
The numeracy skills revised are:
1 - Rounding
2 - Perimeter and Area
3 - Angles
4 - Long Multiplication
5 - Units
6 - Decimals
7 - Big Numbers
8 - Time
Provided with answers.
