Each poster has a different mathematician on it, with a picture, biography, quote and puzzle. The puzzles get harder during the week.

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.

A thorough test of differentiation skills. Covers differentiating polynomials and trig (chain rule but no product or quotient rule), tangents and stationary points. I’ve included the original homework, a version with hints (that my class needed) and full solutions.

An example of using Venn Diagrams to categorise the numbers from 1 to 20 as either even or prime. Included is Powerpoint Video explanation

A bumper set of National 5 Maths resources grouped by topic. Five sets of Questions by Topic Four sets of Revision questions by Topic Whole Course Topic by Topic More Whole Course Topic by Topic Example Questions and Answers Covers everything in National 5: Fractions, Percentages, Inequalities, Straight Line, Brackets, Rearranging equations, Simultaneous equations, Area and perimeter, Function notation, Arcs and sectors, Volume, Pythagoras, Similarity, Quadratics, Trigonometry All provided with solutions

A treasure hunt to revise Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. Print out the A4 clues and put them on the walls. Pupils can work in pairs and start anywhere. They solve any clue (e.g. 30% of 90) then find the clue with that answer on it and carry on from there. Answers provided.

A game to revise simple integration. Each catchphrase picture is hidden behind nine expressions. Randomly select a pupil, and if they can integrate their chosen expression they get 10 seconds to guess at the picture hidden below.

Is every square a rectangle? Is every rectangle a square? An investigation into the properties of the quadrilaterals, working out their properties and which ones are similar. Includes a look into Venn Diagrams and a couple of area challenges at the end. Notes and answers at the bottom of each slide.

A chance for pupils to have fun with some numeracy and make a Power Point presentation researching how they would spend £1000. Includes an example (by me) and some results from a class of 15 year olds.

A Powerpoint / PDF giving the Indices Rules with some examples - I have printed these two-sided and laminated these for lots of pupils Also a few practice questions on Surds and Indices to diagnose what they need to practice.

An interactive activity teaching pupils a few simple memory techniques

Three Power Point slides with (fairly) easy questions on capitals, currencies, and shapes of countries.

A one page Powerpoint using 3D coordinates to introduce how to find the distance from one corner to the opposite in a cuboid.

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 to introduce pupils to decimals, using a context they are probably already familiar with (the time to run the 100 metres). Pupils work in pairs to complete some exercises looking up times, then get familiar with a stopwatch, then compare some decimal times.

Two Powerpoint slides of more quadratic problems - e.g. path of a projectile, minimum area etc. Answers included.

An introduction to time. Reading the time from clocks, then difference between two times, and finally a challenge with times in the school weak. Full solutions provided.

This is a 2-page write on worksheet that tests these basic skills: - Lines of symmetry - Names of 2D shapes - 2D shapes that can be convex and non-convex Pupils can write directly on the sheet. Full solutions included.

Several revision Powerpoints and mixed revision worksheets. Many topics covered but in particular Binomial Theorem, Complex Numbers, Partial Fractions, Euclid and Proof. All with either short answers or full solutions Includes topic-specific revision material on the following topics, as Powerpoints and PDFs. Binomial Theorem Complex Numbers Binomial Theorem and Complex Numbers Loci of Complex Numbers Matrices Number Theory Partial Fractions Indices (revision of easier material to help with binomial theorem) Sequences

Eleven fun questions based on the Scottish Advanced Higher Statistics course, also applicable to the English Statistics A level. Questions are on a Powerpoint and full solutions on a PDF. Topics covered include: conditional probability, regression analysis, confidence intervals, paired t-test, Poisson distribution, Binomial distribution, Chi-squared distribution, Continuous uniform distribution and Normal distribution.
