Two homeworks and a revision sheet on basic numeracy for National 4 Maths or National 4 Lifeskills Covers things like: decimals, money, fractions, ratio

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

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.

A series of simple questions that I used over the Summer Holidays to prepare pupils for Higher Mathematics. Topics include - mixed arithmetic, negatives, algebra, fractions, algebra, surds, trigonometry, notation, indices, and some more complicated algebra

A simple powerpoint with all the different common words that indicate a pupil has to add (plus, together etc.) and all those that mean subtract (difference, change, etc.) Useful for pupils who struggle with questions with words in them. Aimed at CfE Level 1 (Scotland)

Two starters on calculating back bearings. The first relies on estimating bearings, the second on calculating a back bearing from a given bearings.

Some infinite sums that (if you go on long enough) add up to Pi. Pupils can try these with a calculator and see how far they get. More advanced pupils can think about which one converges the fastest, and why

A series of two part problems in the style of exam questions. Part (a) of each question is a proof using the trig identities. Part (b) then uses that proof to either solve a trig equation, find an integral, or differentiate to find the equation of a tangent. Answers given at the end.

A series of increasingly difficult problems involving solving Trig Equations, in radians. Begins with sin x = 1/2, then builds in double angle formulas and trig identities. Answers given at the end.

A simple problem about inviting six people to a party - will there always be a group that know each other, or a group that are all strangers? An introduction to the idea of edges and vertices, in the form of a fun problem.

A simple worksheet with many questions such as 'reduce £70 by 20%'

Four worksheets covering the following topics - differences between times (minutes, hours days) - hourly wages (including time and a half and double time) Used for National 4 Lifeskills Finance Module

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 presentation to introduce the idea of functions having 'fixed points'. For example, the fixed point of f(x) = 2x - 5 is when x = 5. Goes on to talk about 2D fixed points, before finishing with a riddle that can be solved by thinking about fixed points.

A simple world map Starter Question introducing the idea of co-ordinates with longitude and latitude.

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.

A powerpoint of short mixed revision questions. On the topics of negative numbers, brackets, solving equations, expand and simplify and then mixed revision. Can be used as a starter or revision.

Everything you need to revise angles! The first Power Point covers - types of angle, angles in circle (360), angles on a straight line (180), angles in a triangle (180), corresponding and alternate angles, right angled and isosceles triangles The second Power Point covers - a big one-slide recap, a challenging question, places you might see some of the shapes involved

A simple one-page practice on finding the area of lots of circles given the diameter or radius. Later questions are just fractions of circles.

Three Power Points introducing forming and solving equations in a fun context. The first leads pupils to an equation like x + 5 The second leads pupils to an equation like 2(x+5) The third is more complicated and involves x on both sides of the equation
