Instructions to make your own net of a cube, then a series of example nets - can you work out which ones form a cube? Answers now on the Power Point.

A great way to introduce formulas, with a fun activity to estimate how fast your reaction time is. The Power Point introduces the idea of reaction time then shows pupils a simple experiment they can do, which leads to a formula for converting centimetres on a ruler to reaction time in seconds.

A short guide for how to create a Google Survey, which I have been using for pupils to fill in their exam feedback.

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

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)

A Power Point presentation investigating the not-so-obvious question of where the centre of a triangle is. Useful to revise and motivate some of the line work in e.g. Higher Maths Starts with the centre of other shapes (e.g. circle - easy) before introducing the main candidates for the centre of a triangle. These are where the medians, perpendicular bisectors, and altitudes meet. But there are also many other centres. And what about quadrilaterals, or 3D shapes?

A worksheet of practice questions on everything to do with Higher Functions. domain and range max value of a function inverse functions tangent to a function showing a function is always positive sketch of a function differentiating a function quadratic inequalities

A write-on worksheet with 18 short questions revising exact values of trigonometry, Most questions simple e.g. sin(60) and also includes angles above 90 degrees, radians and a few questions on inverse trig. Solutions at the end.

Practice in forming and solving simultaneous equations. We often talk about equations being 'in balance' and 'doing the same to both sides'. This worksheet makes that visual idea very obvious to pupils as they are presented with a series of balanced seesaws with animals on them. Each pair of seesaws leads to a pair of simultaneous equations, which can then be solved in the usual way, to find the weight of each animal. Provided with solutions.

A set of revision questions involving bearings and then bearings with trigonometry - something pupils usually need a lot of practice on.

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.

Mixed percentage questions, on these topics - percentage change - repeated percentage increase or decrease - reverse percentage
