Questions on the following topics: Direct and Inverse Proportion Reciprocal Graphs Nth term of linear or quadratic sequences Circle Theorems Probability Trigonometry Modulus function These are particularly aimed at Scottish pupils as these topics aren’t included in the Scottish syllabus.

Practice questions covering Western Electric Rules Determining if a system is in statistical control Calculating upper and lower control limits Working backwards from limits to finding standard deviation or sample size Finding the probability of a rule being broken Provided with solutions

An investigation into how many people can fit in a room while keeping two metres apart. There are three main spacings: square (the first one you think of) hexagonal irregular This is an interesting read for those mathematically minded

An introduction, with simple questions on each of Distance, Time and Speed, then mixed questions. Full solutions provided.

A fun activity to solve numeracy problems in a team. Two difficulties and full solutions provided.

This is a series of questions aimed at making pupils more comfortable with dealing with formulas with fractions in them. I made this worksheet in response to a very bright class who had no problems with most formula but struggled rearranging fractions. Full solutions included. Edit: added another powerpoint of more questions

A fun activity to practice using simple tally marks, investigate a few other systems, then make up their own. Works especially well with low-ability classes, who all like making up their own tally systems.

A fun activity looking at number and letter palindromes. Works well for homework. Full solutions included.

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.

This is four different whole class activities practising times tables. There are four versions of the same game, with increasing difficulty: - easy multiplication, up to 7 x 7. - slightly harder multiplication, up to 8 x 8 or 9 x 7. - all multiplication up to 9 x 9, with few easy questions - all multiplication up to 12 x 12.

Practise converting words to numbers, and numbers to words. Starts easy then goes up to things like 32 809 and millions. Full solutions included.

This is revision material for a range of basic techniques, finding e.g. - 2/5 of 20 - 25% of 40 - 35% as a decimal Full solutions included.

A series of basic questions testing these skills: • Use the four operations with whole numbers. • Use simple fractions in context. • Express numbers given in figures in words, and vice versa. • Use money in a range of contexts. • Interpret and use information. • Select the appropriate unit of measurement for length. • Measure to a required degree of accuracy • Perform calculations in everyday contexts. • Round to the nearest unit in context. • Use fractions and percentages in context. • Use 12-hour and 24-hour times for simple problems involving time. • Select the appropriate unit of measurement for length, weight or volume. • Order everyday objects according to weight or volume. • Perform calculations in everyday contexts. • Interpret and communicate information. • Use properties of shapes. • Use further measurement skills.

Pupils learn about money and get the chance to design their own coins. This activity is inspired by the Scottish Independence Referendum of 2014.

These two activities extend from 3 by 3 to 4 by 4 magic squares. Pupils design an individual magic square then search for symmetries.

A series of fun challenges working out what comes next. Some are mathematical, some require more lateral thinking. Good as an extension activity. Full solutions provided.

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.

A series of questions testing speed calculations, which are the ones pupils find hardest in DST. Full solutions provided.

An introduction to time. Reading the time from clocks, then difference between two times, and finally a challenge with times in the school weak. Full solutions provided.

A whole class activity to practise basic skills of adding and subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Three different difficulties.
