A series of five homeworks covering the topics of - time (hours, days, weeks etc) - hourly salaries - tax - loans and repayments - money exchange - budgeting

A series of three worksheets on solving equations. Covers all types of equations: Simple: n + 3 = 5 Multiple n: 2n - 3 = 5 Subtracting variable: 5 - 2n = 1 Tricky numbers: 31 + 3n = 5 Squares and roots: 30 – 2n^2 = 12 Brackets: 3(n + 2) = 11 Letters on both sides: 3(3 + n) = 4(n - 3) Now with solutions included. Edit: Added Powerpoint of two pages on same topic plus ‘Think of a Number’ problems

A series of worksheets exploring the link between door codes, Euler Graphs and also De Brujn Graphs. This will introduce pupils to the concepts of - vertices - edges - degree of vertices - directed graphs

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

A series of simple questions for pupils to answer on mini-whiteboards (or any other way). Topics here are combining simple terms and multiplying out brackets.

Two lists of free iPad Apps to help with maths - one for pupils and one for teachers. The list for pupils groups apps by categories (e.g. graphs, fractions), the list for teachers includes administrative apps too. Compiled 2015 - let me know if you've anything new to add!

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.

This is an investigation into the different uses of stones and pounds (UK), pounds (USA) and kilograms (Europe) for weighing people. By the end pupils should be able to convert between the units effectively. Skills used: - Mental arithmetic - Converting between units - Rounding (the conversion numbers are approximate only) Full solutions provided on the Power Points. Now includes some extra revision, (to be used a month after initial lessons) and a picture of 'The Kilogram' (housed in a secret bunker somewhere near Paris).

A worksheet of practice questions on everything to do with Higher Functions. domain and range max value of a function inverse functions tangent to a function showing a function is always positive sketch of a function differentiating a function quadratic inequalities

A series of statistics questions that cover everything that might be needed for an Advanced Higher Geography project. Largely overlaps with Advanced Higher Statistics. Topics included are: Descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, range, interquartile range, standard deviation, standard error, coefficient of variation) Inferential statistics (chi-squared) Linear regression Nearest Neighbour analysis Full solutions at the end.

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.

These notes complement my Course Notes for this SQA course. They include more further examples, more complicated statistical tests and links to Excel for examples.

Nine provocative questions to get pupils thinking about infinity. Each one has footnotes on the Powerpoint to guide towards the answer. What are Zeno’s paradoxes? Is 0.9999999999999999999… the same as 1? What is the smallest decimal number more than 3? What is infinity plus one? What is Hilbert’s Hotel? If something is true for the first million numbers, is it true for all the numbers? What is 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 … equal to? Are some infinities bigger than others? Are there more: numbers, fractions, or decimals?

A simple introduction with adding and subtracting money, then sharing it between people, then looking at discounts. Full solutions included.

A simple powerpoint with a shop where items cost different amounts. You then ask the pupils how much change they get from a pound. Easily adaptable to add your own items (or change the existing prices) or extend by asking about buying multiple items, starting with £5 etc. Aimed at CfE Level 1 Mathematics

This is a series of worksheets all about finding the area of 2D shapes (quadrilaterals and circles). - Recognising and naming 2D shapes - Knowing their properties - Knowing the formulas for their areas - Being able to calculate the areas

Practise converting words to numbers, and numbers to words. Starts easy then goes up to things like 32 809 and millions. Full solutions included.

A selection of questions (with full solutions) each asking 'how many ways' can something happen. Begins with simple problems that are small enough that they can be done without any special technique, then problems that require the 'multiplication principle' then on to permutations and combinations.

A series of extension projects about counting. Each question is a seemingly simple problem that introduces pupils to combinatorics. For example: - how many ways can you make change for a pound? - how many four digit numbers have digits that sum to 9?

A series of four worksheets to progressively introduce pupils to the idea of adding and subtracting fractions by matching the denominators. Rather than just presenting it to them as a rule, they work through simple examples to gain an understanding of what is happening. I wrote this out of frustration with a poor class who simply didn't seem to understand how fractions worked, and although they could memorise a method, would then misapply it (for example, trying to add three fractions with them was a disaster, until they actually understood what they were doing)
