A set of five challenging questions testing the link between length, area, and volume scale factor.
Full solutions provided.
These questions were created by my pupils, so have a relatively real life context!
A one page sheet with eight common shapes on. Pupils should cut these out and physically fold them, to see which ones have lines of symmetry.
I came up with this in response to pupils who consistently thought that a parallelogram had two lines of symmetry, and a non-square rectangle had four lines of symmetry.
This is a free-standing resource on dividing to get a decimal answer.
It involves questions like 15 ÷ 2 and 4.8 ÷ 3 up to things like 396 ÷ 400
It's taken from a Murder Mystery Package I wrote hence it includes a small riddle element at the end. There are two levels of difficulty (A is easier than B) that both have the same solution.

- subtracting negative numbers
- multiplying and dividing
- all operations, with fractions and decimals
Full solutions provided.
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.
This is a series of questions testing the basic principles that there are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour.
They start easy and get harder, including decimals and fractions.
Full solutions included.
A fun activity to be done alone or in pairs. The first puzzle is easier (no subtracting negatives) and the second one includes subtracting negatives.
Based on original from eam_larkin.
A series of questions testing
- sine rule (missing side and missing angle)
- cosine rule (missing side and missing angle)
- area of triangle using 1/2 ab sin C
- bearings (with sine rule and cosine rule)
Solutions provided.
2021 - added second set of questions on Bearings and Trigonometry, and a bearings homework

This was originally written for Access 3 a couple of years ago, and so is roughly grouped by the three Units of Access 3.
Covers things like fractions, decimals, percentages, money, time etc.
This is a series of questions that will guide pupils from thinking only in numbers to thinking algebraically.
