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 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

Two sets of worksheets with solutions on - writing numbers in words - adding and subtracting whole numbers - time intervals and 24 hour time - order of operations (BODMAS) - multiplication and division by e.g. 10, 200, 3000 - long multiplication - rounding with significant figures

Two sets of worksheets with solutions on - frequency tables - mean, median, mode and range

Two sets of worksheets with solutions on - everyday uses of negative numbers - adding and subtracting negative numbers - ordering negative numbers

Two sets of worksheets with solutions on - recognising and drawing fractions - finding simple fractions of an amount - simplifying fractions - equivalent fractions And one further worksheet with more routine practice, plus a Power Point with some simple questions

A Power Point and two sets of worksheets (with solutions) on - place value - ordering decimals - decimal scales - addition subtraction division and multiplication with decimals - rounding decimals Also includes a simple decimals starter (Power Point)

Two sets of questions and solutions on - units of measurement - area of rectangles and triangles - perimeter of rectangles - simple compound shapes Edit: added page of challenge questions

Two sets of questions with solutions on - types of angle - measuring and drawing angles - rotation and line symmetry

Two sets of questions with answers on: - function machines - forming and solving simple equations - simplifying expressions - substitution

A fun lesson with shapes for pupils to cut out and reform. Everyone should have fun with this. Although even young children can understand dissection it hides complicated mathematics in geometry in proof. The dissections to try here are: - A rectangle into a square with one cut - A vase into a square - An equilateral triangle into a square - A 8 by 8 square into a 13 by 5 rectangle (!) - A couple of miscellaneous shapes - An approximate dissection of a circle into a square

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.

A mixed collection of questions covering many major topics of National 5 of GCSE Maths, all with a fun theme of Colin the Caterpillar! Topics covered are: Indices, fractions, volume, quadratics, scattergraph, statistics, percentages Provided with full solutions.

This is a free-standing resource on fractions, decimals and percentages It involves recognising groups of identical values like 1/10, 0.1 and 10% up to groups like 4/25, 8% and 0.08. 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.

This is a free-standing resource on simple percentages It involves questions like 50% of 24 up to 60% of 20 and 25% of 24. 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.

This is a free-standing resource on simple fractions. It involves questions like 1/4 of 20 up to things like 3/7 of 14. 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.

This is a free-standing resource on finding the amount of line symmetry and rotational symmetry of 2D shapes. 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.

This is a free-standing resource on finding the area and perimeter of rectangles. The difficulty comes as sometimes you need to use a bit of logic by looking at the diagram to find the dimensions of the rectangles. 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.

This is a free-standing resource on rounding. It involves questions like round 7.232 to two decimal places up to round 10.503 to three significant figures. There are two levels of difficulty (A is easier than B) that both have the same solution. Full solutions included.
