A fast paced relay testing understanding of ratio in unusual and interesting situations. Print out multiple copies of the questions (ideally laminated) and get each pair of pupils started on a copy of Question One. Once they bring you the right answer to that, given them Question Two and so on. All answers should be fully simplified.

A Power Point that includes questions on finding 10% (and 20%, 30% etc) and another one for 15%, 25%, 35% et cetera, Useful for teaching the topic or just for practice.

This is a series of worksheets testing a range of algebra skills. This is the rough order of increasing difficulty: Simplify and Brackets - Simplify 2t + 5t - Simplify 2(x+3) – 4 Substitution - If a = 3 and b = 2 find 3a – b Inequalities - Find the set of dice rolls where x > 3 and x Consecutive numbers - Find two consecutive numbers that add up to eleven Full solutions included.

A series of fun activities linked to the Olympics. Skills used are: - DST - logic - Stem and Leaf - percentages - rounding

This is a series of PowerPoints and questions introducing and testing knowledge of Distance, Speed and Time. Starting with simple Time questions, pupils will learn how to recognise different types of DST question, and how to solve them. - Some introductory questions that check pupils can convert between 12hr and 24hr time, and convert between hours and minutes - Checking pupils can recognise whether they are being asked a Distance, Speed or Time question. - Estimating speeds of different forms of transport - A class project for each group to work out the time it takes to get somewhere, by different forms of transport - A couple of PowerPoints on timetables DST Starters - Some standard test-level DST questions - A spreadsheet and graph of the distance from school and time it takes to get there from one example class.

A fun activity looking at number and letter palindromes. Works well for homework. Full solutions included.

A series of questions revising a full range of skills. Full solutions provided. Part One Decimals addition, subtraction, multiplication Adding Fractions Fractions Fractions, Decimals and Percentages Prime Numbers Mean, median, mode and range Stem and Leaf Co-ordinates Solve equation from formula Negative Numbers s Angles Part Two Rounding decimals Find percentage with a calculator Ratio Probability Time differences Area of 2D Shapes Composite area

These are a series of fractions problems set in real life contexts. They all involve percentages that can be converted into simple fractions, such as 10% = 1/10. Because of the real life contexts and gradually increasing difficulty I have found that even pupils who normally struggle will be keen to finish the sheet.

A fun crossword to be done alone or in pairs. Tests easy algebra (simplifying and brackets). Solution provided. Based on original by eam_larkin.

This project gives pupils some real life houses from around the world to practice finding the area and perimeter of. The package includes an introductory Power Point then a series of tasks, culminating in designing their own shelter. Skills used: - Area - Perimeter - Units - Scale drawing - Budgeting Full solutions included.

This is a series of questions that will guide pupils from thinking only in numbers to thinking algebraically. The questions are increasingly challenging, finishing with some that require a lot of thought and can be investigated further.

This is a series of tricky challenges to complement usual class work, using a full range of maths skills: - trigonometry - simultaneous equations - algebra - fractions - area - logic Can be used as extensions or homework. Full solutions included.

This is an investigation for pupils to discover that the more sides you have on a polygon, the closer the area comes to that of a circle. In fact, using polygons was how people once estimated pi. Skills used - trigonometry - area - algebra - Pythagoras Full solutions included.

A range of activities to celebrate March 14th (3.14), Pi Day! - whole class quiz - mnemonic activity (making up sentences) - three Pi Challenges involving some maths

This is four different whole class activities practising times tables. There are four versions of the same game, with increasing difficulty: - easy multiplication, up to 7 x 7. - slightly harder multiplication, up to 8 x 8 or 9 x 7. - all multiplication up to 9 x 9, with few easy questions - all multiplication up to 12 x 12.

This is an investigation to get pupils thinking about different units. The Power Point begins with an introduction, then a few questions to get pupils thinking about different units, and finishes by describing the investigation they should do, finding out more about one type of measurement and presenting their results.

A fun activity to practice using simple tally marks, investigate a few other systems, then make up their own. Works especially well with low-ability classes, who all like making up their own tally systems.
