Why am I learning this?

Mathematicians are not the people who find Maths easy; they are the people who enjoy how mystifying, puzzling and hard it is. Are you a mathematician?

"We all love your starters. It is so good to have such a collection. We use them for all age groups and abilities. Have particularly enjoyed KIM's game, as we have not used that for Mathematics before. Keep up the good work and thank you very much
Best wishes from Inger Kisby"

Go Maths

Learning and understanding Mathematics, at every level, requires learner engagement. Mathematics is not a spectator sport. Sometimes traditional teaching fails to actively involve students. One way to address the problem is through the use of interactive activities and this web site provides many of those. The Go Maths page is an alphabetical list of free activities designed for students in Secondary/High school.

Help

One of the important aspects of this quiz is typing in the answer in the correct format. When expressing amounts of money it is standard practice to include two decimal places if the answer is not a whole number of the major unit (pounds, dollars etc).

Eg., six point seven pounds would be written as £6.70 and not £6.7

For the purposes of this exercise type in a whole number of pounds without the decimal places.

Eg., twelve pounds should be written as £12 and not £12.00

Also note that the currency units have already been provided for you, you do not need to type them into the answer box

The exercises are generated from random numbers so each time you refresh the page you will get a different set of questions.

Don't wait until you have finished the exercise before you click on the 'Check' button. Click it often as you work through the questions to see if you are answering them correctly.

Level 1: Addition

£1.72 + 65p

To perform this addition, first convert 65p to pounds. 65p is £0.65.

So, the calculation is £1.72 + £0.65.

Align the decimal points and add:

\[ \begin{array}{r} 1.72 \\ + 0.65 \\ \hline 2.37 \\ \end{array} \]

Therefore, £1.72 + 65p = £2.37.

Level 2: Subtraction

£92.51 - £70.74

Align the decimal points and subtract:

\[ \begin{array}{r} 92.51 \\ - 70.74 \\ \hline 21.77 \\ \end{array} \]

Therefore, £92.51 - £70.74 = £21.77.

Level 3: Multiplication

£7.29 × 5

Multiply each digit of £7.29 by 5:

\[ \begin{array}{r} 7.29 \\ \times 5 \\ \hline 36.45 \\ \end{array} \]

Therefore, £7.29 × 5 = £36.45.

Level 4: Division

£110.97 ÷ 9

Divide £110.97 by 9:

Perform the division step-by-step just as you do with the bus stop method:

Step 1. 110 ÷ 9 = 12 remainder 2.
Step 2. 29 ÷ 9 = 3 remainder 2.
Step 3. 27 ÷ 9 = 3.

So, £110.97 ÷ 9 = £12.33.

Level 5: Percentage

Find 40% of £56.80

First, find 10% (one tenth) of £56.80 = £5.68.

Multiply £5.68 by 4 to find the required 40%:

\[ \text{Alternatively } 56.80 \times 0.40 = 22.72 \]

Therefore, 40% of £56.80 is £22.72.

Level 6: Mixed Calculations

Sue pays £50 for her shopping. If her shopping costs £27.59, how much change will she receive?

Subtract the cost from the amount paid:

\[ 50.00 - 27.59 = 22.41 \]

Therefore, Sue will receive £22.41 in change.
