A series of pictures of the same school (Mearns Castle in Scotland) taken from further and further away.
For each picture pupils have to work out which is the correct scale.
Simple questions testing multiplication and division, starting easy then including decimals.
Now with answers on the Power Point.
See the (Premium) Numeracy Starter Questions #2 for more
Seven christmas themed questions on the following topics:
adding fractions, angles in triangles, dividing with fractions, substitution, negative numbers
A series of examples and full solutions on the following topics
- Volume of a Prism (cuboids, cylinders and triangular prisms)
- Surface Area of a Prism (cuboids, cylinders and other prisms)
Worked examples and questions on these four topics:
Substitute values into expressions and evaluate
Multiply two brackets

Solutions included
A powerpoint-activity to learn and revise about vectors.
There's been a robbery! Can you help Inspector Vector solve the crime by collecting clues? This is a fun activity for groups that includes:
- adding and subtracting 2D and 3D vectors
- finding the magnitude of 2D and 3D vectors
- adding and subtracting vectors like a and b
- some practice with surds for magnitude of vectors
- visualizing vectors in 3D
- using some logic to solve the crime
Solutions to each clue included in the Power Point notes.
Takes a very good class about 1 hour 30 minutes.
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.
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.
Two sets of questions (non-calculator and calculator) practicing
Fractions -equivalent adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying
Order of Operations
Highest common factor
Prime factorisation
Expressing as a percentage and finding a percentage
Square roots, and cube roots and squaring
Algebra - solving simple equations, simplifying, substitution
Rounding to one decimal place
Answers provided too.
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.
A series of four worksheets about domain, range and composite functions. There is many lessons work here with lots of practice.
The four parts are:
- Domain and Range
- Composite Functions
- Further Functions (combining domain, range, composite)
- Extension (proofs about linear functions)
All provided with full solutions
A series of four worksheets to give some background algebra, do plenty of examples finding a limit, then for advanced pupils go on to find a general formula for a linear sequence.
If you follow this through you will be able to instantly work out the value of the 50th term of u_n+1 = 0.4 u_n +3 (for example).
The four worksheets are:
- Indices (practice on this)
- Algebra (rearranging formula)
- Sequences (standard questions on finding limits, and graphing the results)
- Investigation (putting it all together to get a general formula)
All provided with full solutions.
A set of worksheets building up to an investigation about the time it takes for an object to drop that can be done in the classroom to practice the skills learned.
The sections are:
- Basic Skills (factorising, simplifying fractions, solving equations)
- Questions (rearranging linear formulas, quadratic formulas, and more difficult formulas too)
- Investigation (how long it takes a ball to drop, using a formula and testing it)
All provided with full solutions
