A worksheet with five real-life problems that require using very big or very small numbers - How far does the Earth travel in one second - How many Earth's fit in the sun - How long does it take for the Sun's light to reach us - How long does it take to get a radio signal to Mars - How many atoms are in the Earth These require a bit of other basic mathematical knowledge (e.g. area of circle) but mostly pupils are lead through each problem in stages. Full solutions included at the end.

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

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)

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 short Power Point explaining what VAT is, what you have to pay it on, and finishing with a question about Jaffa Cakes. Answers included on the Power Point.

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.

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.

Explanations and examples of the key statistical concepts for the Cambridge STEP Mathematics entrance exam. Covers Basic probability Combinatorics Mean and variance Continuous probability distributions Uniform, binomial and normal distributions Hypothesis testing All with solutions to my questions and references for the past paper questions

A series of ten questions asking pupils to prove Trig Identities. For example Show that 3 tan⁡x cos⁡x=3 sin⁡x All included with full solutions.

These are extensive notes that I have made to teach this SQA Course. Includes many example questions and follow ups on Excel. I’ve also included here a course outline, essential exam skills and a practice exam with solutions. *Updated 2020 to have Course Notes for pupils (with spaces for answers) and Course Notes for teachers (answers filled in) *Updated 2022 with corrections

This is a six round team picture 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 200)

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)

This is a series of questions that will guide pupils from thinking only in numbers to thinking algebraically. The questions are increasingly challenging, finishing with some that require a lot of thought and can be investigated further.

Several revision Powerpoints and mixed revision worksheets. Many topics covered but in particular Binomial Theorem, Complex Numbers, Partial Fractions, Euclid and Proof. All with either short answers or full solutions Includes topic-specific revision material on the following topics, as Powerpoints and PDFs. Binomial Theorem Complex Numbers Binomial Theorem and Complex Numbers Loci of Complex Numbers Matrices Number Theory Partial Fractions Indices (revision of easier material to help with binomial theorem) Sequences

These are the course notes I have been using for the last few years to teach Advanced Higher Statistics. I wrote them myself, based on the SQA course description, and have included lots of examples.
