At last! An explanation for why mathematicians like Radians. Divided into six categories Pi is great Rotation Speed Drawing Graphs Calculus Sine expansion Formula Spherical Trigonometry Includes short questions on each category

Two homeworks and a revision sheet on basic numeracy for National 4 Maths or National 4 Lifeskills Covers things like: decimals, money, fractions, ratio

Powerpoints with two example timetables (Glasgow to Belfast and Glasgow to Cornwall) and accompanying questions

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

This is an investigation for the whole class to do at the same time, investigating the seemingly simple idea of the four corners of a rectangle. It will force pupils to get out of the simple thinking that every rectangle has to be lined up with the co-ordinate axes, with a horizontal base and vertical sides. Can be done visually, or for more able pupils with algebra and straight lines. Full solutions included.

Extra resources for this SQA Course. Students will learn how to use Excel and then analyse some simple data with it. Suitable even for complete Excel beginners.

A problem solving scenario to combine skills, useful for revision and group work. The skills tested here are: • Linear equations, including x-intercept and y-intercept • Solving simultaneous equations • Finding the formula for a sine wave from a graph • Indices • Surds • Changing the subject of a formula Pupils will also need good communication skills and teamwork (if working in groups). Provided with teacher notes and full worked solutions.

A mixed collection of questions covering many major topics of National 5 of GCSE Maths, all with a fun theme of Colin the Caterpillar! Topics covered are: Indices, fractions, volume, quadratics, scattergraph, statistics, percentages Provided with full solutions.

Some resources to help understand the normal approximation to a binomial distribution. A Powerpoint investigating when a Binomial distribution is close to a normal distribution, and also a video commentary of the Powerpoint. We find that if the sample size is too small (or too skewed) then the normal approximation is good. Specifically, we want np>5 and nq>5. A couple of worked solutions to example problems, in video form

Two pages of Powerpoints with answers on simple questions like If f(x)=3x+4, find f(5) Then tests fractions and negatives, and finally more difficult questions like If f(x)=3x+4, and f(a)=19, find a

A set of five harder problems about finding the mean which involve pupils using the fact that the total is the number of data points times the mean (or using algebra). Provided with solutions.

A teacher-led Powerpoint investigation into randomness to be done at the end of a topic about probability. The five short topics are Pick a random number Heads and Tails experiment Lottery Random numbers Digits of Pi What is randomness? The aim is for pupils to understand that ‘random’ isn’t truly random after all!

A series of simple questions that I used over the Summer Holidays to prepare pupils for Higher Mathematics. Topics include - mixed arithmetic, negatives, algebra, fractions, algebra, surds, trigonometry, notation, indices, and some more complicated algebra

A set of six challenging problems where pupils must use all the digits 1-9 exactly once each, for example: Find two three-digit numbers that sum to another three-digit number Solutions provided.

A Powerpoint with five routine questions on Integrating factor. Provided with answers.

Two extra tasks for pupils doing the Higher Statistics Module. Task 1 is using Excel to analyse some Covid infection data using regression analysis. This has example solutions inline. Task 2 is conducting a survey . Included are example model solutions…

This is a free-standing resource on multiplying whole numbers It involves multiplications like 5 x 11 up to things like 3 x 11 x 11 It's taken from a Murder Mystery Package I wrote hence it includes a small riddle element at the end. There are two levels of difficulty (A is easier than B) that both have the same solution. Full solutions included.

An Excel simulator does twenty samples each flipping a fair coin one hundred times. Each sample generates a confidence interval for the mean number of heads. On average, 19 out of the 20 confidence intervals will include the true mean of 50 heads, This simulation can be run many times (by pressing F9) and each time a new graph visually updates, showing how confidence intervals work. The number of flips and the probabilities can all be changed too.

Mixed percentage questions, on these topics - percentage change - repeated percentage increase or decrease - reverse percentage

A Powerpoint of Pythagoras questions covering the following topics: Squaring and square rooting Solving the equations that result from Pythagoras equations Finding long and short sides on triangles(with and without a calculator) ‘Double Pythagoras’ with two applications 3D Pythagoras with a space diagonal Distance between co-ordinates Converse of Pythagoras Answers at the bottom of each slide
