Some easy questions as lesson starters. - Finding simple percentages, like 10% or 15% - Finding any percentage, like 23% or 92% - Finding percentage increases and decreases - Converting between fractions, percentages, decimals Answers included on the Power Point.

An interactive Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game focused on numeracy questions. The questions near the end get very tricky! They are on the following topics - percentage, area, ratio, factorising, probability, volume, negative numbers, difference of squares, scale factors, angles, sequences, DST I normally do this with pupils writing their letters on mini-whiteboards before the right answer is displayed, and you can also do something with the lifelines if you like.

A Powerpoint with some introductory distance-speed-time questions, then an activity for group work: Each group is travelling from Glasgow to London via a different method of transport - plane - train - car - coach - cycle -walk

A fun presentation for pupils to try and guess what each magnified image is. Can also be used in a more advanced way to try and work out the (length) and (area) scale factors between the original picture and the answer.

A series of five activities to help you learn how to use Excel, with an emphasis on mathematical formulae. The skills learned are: - using formulas (like mean, maximum etc.) - plotting graphs - colour coding cells

A series of 17 one-page handouts each with explanations, examples then questions. Covers Numbers, Negatives, Fractions, Percentages, Algebra. For lower ability classes I print these out and they stick them in their jotters. The topics are: Types of Number, Factors, Powers, Prime Factors, Negatives adding and subtracting, Negatives multiplying and dividing, Fractions of an amount, Equivalent fractions, Mixed numbers, Multiplying and Dividing fractions, Adding and subtracting fractions, Finding percentages, Fractions decimals percentages, Substitution, Multiplying Brackets, Simplifying, Solving Equations)

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

Two write-on practice tests for Higher Maths pupils on the following topics: Test #1 - Straight Line, Functions, Quadratics, Surds, Indices Test #2 - Functions, Graphs, Polynomials Both can be done with a calculator. With full solutions

A series of three Power Point slides on tricky log questions. Useful for revision of Higher Maths. Edit: added logs and exponential graphs.

Tips, questions, and solutions covering the following topics: Sequences, Lines, Circles, Vectors, Logs, Polynomials and Functions. Edit: Added 2023 exam tips

First homework covering Integration (polynomials and simple trig, area between curves) Revision (functions, circles, trig graphs, sequences) Edit: added second longer revision sheet covering polynomials trig calculus Full solutions included

A Powerpoint introducing negative numbers, then some practice with temperatures.

A series of practice questions on the following converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying fractions converting between fractions, decimals and percentages Included with answers Edit 2022 -added More Fractions Powerpoint and PDF

A powerpoint with one question - exploring why going from 20 to 25 is not the same as going from 25 to 20.

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 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 rare chance to see the first ever use of an equals sign "for what could be more equal than two parallel lines" and therefore the first ever equation. Pupils can read the Olde English, translate it into modern equations, then solve them. The first two are linear, the remaining four quadratic. Provided with full solutions.

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.

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.
