I provide comprehensive worksheets to revise a particular topic (always with answers included) as well as extension materials, for pupils ranging from age about 11 to 16+.
All of my premium resources have a UK and US version.

Two sets of worksheets with solutions on
- recognising and drawing fractions
- finding simple fractions of an amount
- simplifying fractions
- equivalent fractions
And one further worksheet with more routine practice, plus a Power Point with some simple questions
A series of 17 one-page handouts each with explanations, examples then questions.
Covers Numbers, Negatives, Fractions, Percentages, Algebra.
For lower ability classes I print these out and they stick them in their jotters.
The topics are:
Types of Number, Factors, Powers, Prime Factors, Negatives adding and subtracting, Negatives multiplying and dividing, Fractions of an amount, Equivalent fractions, Mixed numbers, Multiplying and Dividing fractions, Adding and subtracting fractions, Finding percentages, Fractions decimals percentages, Substitution, Multiplying Brackets, Simplifying, Solving Equations)
This contains a dynamic introduction to Stem and Leaf diagrams, using a sort of game. There are then examples to be worked through in groups, and further practice questions to be attempted individually. All provided with answers and commentary.
A series of projects on rearranging formulas.
(Note: Some of the embedded equations do not display well on the TES preview but they all display perfectly on the downloadable PDFs)
Each project is linked to real life situations, and also includes lots of practice at other KS4 / National 5 Skills: standard form, algebra using brackets, volume formulas, rounding, units, surds.
This is an investigation into the different uses of stones and pounds (UK), pounds (USA) and kilograms (Europe) for weighing people. By the end pupils should be able to convert between the units effectively.
Skills used:
- Mental arithmetic
- Converting between units
- Rounding (the conversion numbers are approximate only)
Full solutions provided on the Power Points.
Now includes some extra revision, (to be used a month after initial lessons) and a picture of 'The Kilogram' (housed in a secret bunker somewhere near Paris).
An interactive Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game focused on numeracy questions.
The questions near the end get very tricky! They are on the following topics
- percentage, area, ratio, factorising, probability, volume, negative numbers, difference of squares, scale factors, angles, sequences, DST
I normally do this with pupils writing their letters on mini-whiteboards before the right answer is displayed, and you can also do something with the lifelines if you like.
Two sets of questions and solutions on
- units of measurement
- area of rectangles and triangles
- perimeter of rectangles
- simple compound shapes
Edit: added page of challenge questions
Four Power Point slides on sequences
- the first is simple ‘what comes next’
- the second is counting matchsticks and finding a formula
- the third is formally finding a linking formula between ‘S’ and ‘T’
- the fourth is more practice finding and using the relationship between ‘S’ and ‘T’
If you like more challenging ‘What Comes Next’ problems see my separate resource on that.
A practice test on sequences.
Full solutions attached.
A set of revision questions involving bearings and then bearings with trigonometry - something pupils usually need a lot of practice on.
Edit: added solutions October 2024
A Powerpoint presentation I used to introduce a class of smart 16 year olds to some of the simple visual aspects of Topology, with plenty of pictures, strange facts, and links to videos.
Several revision Powerpoints and mixed revision worksheets.
Many topics covered but in particular Binomial Theorem, Complex Numbers, Partial Fractions, Euclid and Proof.
All with either short answers or full solutions
Includes topic-specific revision material on the following topics, as Powerpoints and PDFs.
Binomial Theorem
Complex Numbers
Binomial Theorem and Complex Numbers
Loci of Complex Numbers
Matrices
Number Theory
Partial Fractions
Indices (revision of easier material to help with binomial theorem)
Sequences

3 - Probability, Sampling, Binomial
4 - Binomial, Normal, Poisson #1
5 - Distributions
5a - Distributions and Regressions
6 - Hypothesis Test

For some of the homeworks (2,3,5) I have made slightly different alternative versions and they are included too.
Update: homeworks 2,5,7 updated March 2023
A series of six questions on the Mann-Whitney test, including dealing with ties and the normal approximation (the data in these questions is not mine and is taken from various sources).
A Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney homework
Both provided with full solutions
Three worksheets for pupils to become familiar with using a TI82 (or similar) Graphics Calculator.
Calculator Guide. Explains how to do Basic Navigation, Basic Maths, Statistical Distributions and Statistical Tests.
Calculator Practice. Some practice questions to be solved by Graphic Calculator. Solutions at the end.
TI82 Stats Calculator Questions. A Powerpoint with some more practice
Eleven fun questions based on the Scottish Advanced Higher Statistics course, also applicable to the English Statistics A level. Questions are on a Powerpoint and full solutions on a PDF.
Topics covered include: conditional probability, regression analysis, confidence intervals, paired t-test, Poisson distribution, Binomial distribution, Chi-squared distribution, Continuous uniform distribution and Normal distribution.
Edit: updated May 2023
15 numeracy questions of increasing difficulty.
Multiple copies should be printed out (one-sided) and each team starts on Q1. When they bring you the answer to that they get Q2, and so on.
Topics covered:
percentages
simple algebra
angles in a triangle/quadrilateral
time
Included with answers.
Four sets of revision questions on the following topics -
factorising
straight line
algebraic fractions.
surds (including revision of vectors and straight line)
Each question has four possible answers. Pupils could work in groups in class, or this could be used as homework, or anything else you can think of.
Answer key included at the end of each set of questions.
Practice ratio questions on
simplifying ratios
dividing a sum
ratio problems
Extension problems included too, and answers.
2021 - added a ratio homework with answers
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
