Practice in forming and solving simultaneous equations.
We often talk about equations being 'in balance' and 'doing the same to both sides'. This worksheet makes that visual idea very obvious to pupils as they are presented with a series of balanced seesaws with animals on them. Each pair of seesaws leads to a pair of simultaneous equations, which can then be solved in the usual way, to find the weight of each animal.
Provided with solutions.
Four worksheets of vectors questions all with full solutions
Vectors #1 Column Vectors - writing as a column vector
Vectors #2 Addition and Magnitude - add, subtract, find magnitude in 2D and 3D
Vectors #3 Pathways and Coordinates - reading pathways, midpoints, 3D coordinates (answer fixed June 2024)
Vectors #4 Mix - magnitude, adding, 3D coordinates, pathways
A series of fun challenges working out what comes next. Some are mathematical, some require more lateral thinking.
Good as an extension activity.
Full solutions provided.
A set of 15 short but interesting maths puzzles that lead pupils around the school. The questions require no special maths knowledge and can be done for ages 10+.
I’ve filled in the maths clues, you will need to add the 15 locations to the clues and hide them around the school.
I’ve done this with a whole year group before in the school grounds - because the clues go in a loop they can start anywhere.
Once a pair/team have done all 15 clues they can come to you for the ‘final challenge’.
Full answers provided.
This is a free-standing resource on ordering decimal numbers.
It involves questions like 3 x 500 up to things like 300 x 22 ÷ 60
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.
Practice Questions on one-sample and two-sample versions of the following tests
• z-test for a difference in population means
• t-test for a difference in population means (including paired)
• z-test for a difference in population proportions
A short presentation describing Leonard Euler - the greatest mathematician ever! Covers his life, the mathematical notation named after him, and some of the maths he did
A great way to introduce formulas, with a fun activity to estimate how fast your reaction time is.
The Power Point introduces the idea of reaction time then shows pupils a simple experiment they can do, which leads to a formula for converting centimetres on a ruler to reaction time in seconds.
Six challenges showing where Pi turns up unexpectedly
Easy (Secondary School) - Simplifying fractions, Square root of two
Medium (GCSE level) - Fibonacci numbers and area of polygons
Hard (A level) - Probability theory, Area of a circle
This is a series of questions aimed at making pupils more comfortable with dealing with formulas with fractions in them.
I made this worksheet in response to a very bright class who had no problems with most formula but struggled rearranging fractions.
Full solutions included.
Edit: added powerpoint of extra questions
Edit: added some textbook change the subject questions with answers
Four worksheets covering the following topics
- differences between times (minutes, hours days)
- hourly wages (including time and a half and double time)
Used for National 4 Lifeskills Finance Module
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 Powerpoint with questions and answers, alongside video solutions.
The following questions are solved for a normally distributed population:
probability of being above a certain value
probability of being below a certain value
probability of being between two values
Final answers are found using a data booklet (specifically the one for Advanced Higher Statistics in Scotland)
Also included ‘AH Statistics Normal Distributions with Phi Notation’ which shows how the number of standard deviations above or below the mean leads to a probability.
Normal distribution short questions
A series of 17 one-page handouts each with explanations, examples then questions.
