A chance for pupils to put their Pythagoras knowledge to the test!
They measure a few distances indoors (e.g. their jotters) and check then check if the diagonal is the length they expected by Pythagoras. Then they go outside the classroom and measure some distances in feet (their own feet) or paces.
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
How much does a squirrel weigh? Use the scales to find out!
This is a nice way to introduce algebra equations. Each seesaw is perfectly in balance, which leads to a simple equation to find the weight of an animal. This is very intuitive and pupils will have no trouble 'seeing' the first few, then will need to start using algebra to solve the harder ones.

This is a free-standing resource on addition and subtraction of decimals
It involves additions like 1.3 + 2.8 and 1.3 - 0.34
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.
This is a free-standing resource on finding the amount of line symmetry and rotational symmetry of 2D shapes.

A mixed homework with questions on arithmetic and geometric sequences, as well as practice complex numbers, binomial theorem and Gaussian elimination.
Full solutions included
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 problem solving project where pupils use Pythagoras to find how far away the horizon is, depending on your height about sea level.
This is an open-ended project, where rather than being given all the information up front the pupils have to work in groups to explore the problem, then reflect on what techniques were effective.
It practices several useful skills such as Pythagoras, circle geometry, expanding brackets and rearranging formulas.
There is the scope for very good pupils to extend the project in interesting directions.
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.
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
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
This is a set of six puzzles presented as large scale Power Points. I used them as colour A3 posters for a monthly maths competition.
These puzzles are challenging and give the scope for comprehensive answers.
Full solutions included.
