Pupils learn about money and get the chance to design their own coins.
Practices simple skills with money and deicmals, and gets them thinking about currencies in general with some extension questions.
This activity is inspired by the Scottish Independence Referendum of 2014.
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.
This is a 2-page write on worksheet that tests these basic skills:

The key to exam technique in mathematics is to solve each problem multiple times, using independent methods. You also want an independent check.
Mathematicians hate to get things wrong!
This presentation and activities will help your students from making mistakes.
A series of examples and questions on the following topics:
Express a change in value as Percentage
Calculate Compound Interest
Reverse Percentage Change
Appreciation/Depreciation by a Percentage
Provided with solutions
A series of about 30 Power Points each with mixed starter activities testing basic numeracy of:
- whole numbers
- fractions, decimals, percentages
- money
- graphs
- symmetry
This is an investigation for pupils to discover that the more sides you have on a polygon, the closer the area comes to that of a circle. In fact, using polygons was how people once estimated pi.
Skills used
- trigonometry
- area
- algebra
- Pythagoras
Full solutions included.
A booklet for pupils to fill in with practice questions on curve sketching, of trig graphs and log graphs. Includes translating graphs.
Q1 & Q2 are taken from past papers. Q7 and Q8 are left blank for extra questions.
Full solutions at the end.
Three resources:
A Powerpoint with questions and answers, alongside video solutions.
The following questions are solved:
finding the mean of a sample
finding the variance of a sample
estimating population mean from a sample
estimating population variance from a sample
Mean and Varirance questions by P Benson for which I’ve written out solutions
Expectation Algebra questions
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
There are two comprehensive worksheets here practicing basic skills with decimals.
Pupils can work individually going through the questions as revision.
Full solutions included.
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.
A fun activity to practice learning about the straight line.
Includes
- drawing graph from data points
- working out the gradient
- working out the y-intercept
- working out the equation of a line from the graph
- using the equation to interpolate missing points
Solutions included
Proofs of some of the key formulas in Advanced Higher Statistics. Not required for the course but some pupils (and teachers) may find it interesting.
proof the two ways of writing the variance formula are equivalent
proof that using the ‘divide by n-1’ formula gives the best estimate of a population variance
proof of Bayes Theorem
proof of laws of expectation and variance
proof of the origin of the Poisson formula, and of the mean and variance
proof of mean and variance for uniform discrete
proof of mean and variance for uniform continuous
proof that using proportions and the normal approximation to a binomial are equivalent
proof a line of best fit goes through the average point
proof the line of best fit gives the least squares
proof of SSR formula
proof in bivariate analysis DF=n-2
proof test slope parameter nonzero and coefficient of correlation nonzero are equivalent

A rare chance to see the first ever use of an equals sign "for what could be more equal than two parallel lines" and therefore the first ever equation.
Pupils can read the Olde English, translate it into modern equations, then solve them. The first two are linear, the remaining four quadratic.
Provided with full solutions.
