Many powerpoints, worksheets and a homework with mixed revision questions. Topic specific revision questions on the following topics, as both Powerpoints and PDFs. Circles Complete the Square Differentiation Functions Log Graphs M=tan theta Polynomials Straight Line Straight Line & Functions

The key to exam technique in mathematics is to solve each problem multiple times, using independent methods. You also want an independent check. Mathematicians hate to get things wrong! This presentation and activities will help your students from making mistakes.

A series of examples and questions on the following topics: Express a change in value as Percentage Calculate Compound Interest Reverse Percentage Change Appreciation/Depreciation by a Percentage Provided with solutions

A series of eight small sets of printable questions, each followed by an estimation question on the Powerpoint which uses the answers you have just calculated. The class work on the sets of questions individually then all attempt to estimate the final answer. I have found this very effective as a general revision activity with pupils in teams, scoring points out of 5 for the revision questions, and also a mark out of 5 for the quality of each estimate. The numeracy skills revised are: 1 - Rounding 2 - Perimeter and Area 3 - Angles 4 - Long Multiplication 5 - Units 6 - Decimals 7 - Big Numbers 8 - Time Provided with answers.

Tired of your usual lesson starters? These six Power Points are on - how old are you in seconds - using coins - a famous question solved by Gauss - penguins - pandas - temperature in the UK and US

A two page Power Point with questions revising arcs and sectors.

Pupils learn about money and get the chance to design their own coins. Practices simple skills with money and deicmals, and gets them thinking about currencies in general with some extension questions. This activity is inspired by the Scottish Independence Referendum of 2014.

A series of about 30 Power Points each with mixed starter activities testing basic numeracy of: - whole numbers - fractions, decimals, percentages - money - graphs - symmetry

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 booklet for pupils to fill in with practice questions on curve sketching, of trig graphs and log graphs. Includes translating graphs. Q1 & Q2 are taken from past papers. Q7 and Q8 are left blank for extra questions. Full solutions at the end.

Three resources: A Powerpoint with questions and answers, alongside video solutions. The following questions are solved: finding the mean of a sample finding the variance of a sample estimating population mean from a sample estimating population variance from a sample Mean and Varirance questions by P Benson for which I’ve written out solutions Expectation Algebra questions

This is a five round team quiz that takes about 50-75 minutes to do completely. The questions are not too serious and everyone should be able to have a good guess. Full solutions included. (Updated 2022)

There are two comprehensive worksheets here practicing basic skills with decimals. Pupils can work individually going through the questions as revision. Full solutions included.

A whole class activity to practise basic skills of adding and subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Three different difficulties.

A Powerpoint presentation I used to introduce a class of smart 16 year olds to some of the simple visual aspects of Topology, with plenty of pictures, strange facts, and links to videos.

Three Powerpoints with simple questions on percentage change finding a percentage -percentage increase or decrease with extension questions on reverse percentage Edit: added another powerpoint of mixed questions, a summary sheet, and a worksheet

This is a thought provoking activity about how many variables are needed to describe a shape. For example, if you don’t care about size, rotation or position all squares are the same. To define size, one variable is needed. To define rotation, one variable is needed. To define position in the 2D plane, two variables are needed. So to fully define any square requires four variables. There are many possible different choices for these four. (Updated 2023)

A fun activity to practice learning about the straight line. Includes - drawing graph from data points - working out the gradient - working out the y-intercept - working out the equation of a line from the graph - using the equation to interpolate missing points Solutions included

Proofs of some of the key formulas in Advanced Higher Statistics. Not required for the course but some pupils (and teachers) may find it interesting. proof the two ways of writing the variance formula are equivalent proof that using the ‘divide by n-1’ formula gives the best estimate of a population variance proof of Bayes Theorem proof of laws of expectation and variance proof of the origin of the Poisson formula, and of the mean and variance proof of mean and variance for uniform discrete proof of mean and variance for uniform continuous proof that using proportions and the normal approximation to a binomial are equivalent proof a line of best fit goes through the average point proof the line of best fit gives the least squares proof of SSR formula proof in bivariate analysis DF=n-2 proof test slope parameter nonzero and coefficient of correlation nonzero are equivalent

Three examples of how matrices can be used to solve real problems. Requires knowledge of matrix multiplication matrix inverses simple probability Aimed at Advanced Higher Maths but useful for anyone who wants to answer the question ‘what are matrices used for’.
