A set of questions where pupils plot some points for a straight line, then identify the gradient and intercepts. Solutions included.

A collection of misleading graphs, for pupils to recognise the flaws with. These are all taken from real life publications.

A one page sheet with eight common shapes on. Pupils should cut these out and physically fold them, to see which ones have lines of symmetry. I came up with this in response to pupils who consistently thought that a parallelogram had two lines of symmetry, and a non-square rectangle had four lines of symmetry.

A fun presentation for pupils to try and guess what each magnified image is. Can also be used in a more advanced way to try and work out the (length) and (area) scale factors between the original picture and the answer.

A series of nicely presented questions each with some money coming in and some expenses. It's quite simple but gives pupils plenty of practice dealing with the terminology and some simple numeracy.

Seven christmas themed questions on the following topics: adding fractions, angles in triangles, dividing with fractions, substitution, negative numbers

Three standard questions testing pupils can correctly use the Wilxocon test, for determining if there is a difference between two sets of data. There are also two extension questions. Provided with full solutions.

An interactive activity teaching pupils a few simple memory techniques

A financial activity to design your own bedroom and pay for it. You will need something like the Argos Catalogue (or IKEA catalogue) to use.

An introduction to Game Theory that I gave to a class of smart 16 year olds. Introduces the idea of a game, and gives some examples of simple two player games and up to zero sum games. Some fun examples of games you can play in class!

A set of five challenging questions testing the link between length, area, and volume scale factor. Full solutions provided. These questions were created by my pupils, so have a relatively real life context!

A PowerPoint with two real-life examples of Hire Purchase questions. Now with answers on the Power Point.

Simple questions testing multiplication and division, starting easy then including decimals. Now with answers on the Power Point. See the (Premium) Numeracy Starter Questions #2 for more

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.

A series of ten questions asking pupils to prove Trig Identities. For example Show that 3 tan⁡x cos⁡x=3 sin⁡x All included with full solutions.

Two sets of questions (non-calculator and calculator) practicing Fractions -equivalent adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying Order of Operations Highest common factor Prime factorisation Expressing as a percentage and finding a percentage Square roots, and cube roots and squaring Algebra - solving simple equations, simplifying, substitution Rounding to one decimal place Answers provided too.

A series of four worksheets to give some background algebra, do plenty of examples finding a limit, then for advanced pupils go on to find a general formula for a linear sequence. If you follow this through you will be able to instantly work out the value of the 50th term of u_n+1 = 0.4 u_n +3 (for example). The four worksheets are: - Indices (practice on this) - Algebra (rearranging formula) - Sequences (standard questions on finding limits, and graphing the results) - Investigation (putting it all together to get a general formula) All provided with full solutions.

A set of worksheets building up to an investigation about the time it takes for an object to drop that can be done in the classroom to practice the skills learned. The sections are: - Basic Skills (factorising, simplifying fractions, solving equations) - Questions (rearranging linear formulas, quadratic formulas, and more difficult formulas too) - Investigation (how long it takes a ball to drop, using a formula and testing it) All provided with full solutions

This will introduce the topics of 3D volume and surface area, and also provide some challenging extension questions. A set of four worksheets on - Basic Skills (rounding, 2D perimeter and area, 3D volume and surface area) - Problems (real life problems involving volume and surface area of cuboids, cylinders, cones and spheres) - Units (converting between e.g. square metres and square centimetres) - Extensions to the Problems (revisiting the problems with converting units and more in-depth calculations) All provided with solutions.

Four sets of practice questions. Includes: - determining if numbers are prime (and odd or square numbers) - multiples and least common multiples - factors and highest common factor Solutions included
