Preparing for National 4

These progression topics are unchecked in National 3 modes and enabled deliberately by Ready for National 4.

Revision questions

Current mode: Fast confidence check. Show working, keep units, and answer the question asked.

  1. Tables and Graphs

    1. Find the range of 12, 11, 19, 9, 13.

    Hint: Subtract the smallest value from the largest value.

  2. Measurement and Scales

    2. A jug scale is marked in litres. The water level is at 4. What capacity is shown?

    Hint: Read the number shown on the litre scale.

  3. Time

    3. Write 90 minutes in hours and minutes.

    Hint: Divide minutes by 60 to change to hours.

  4. Area and Perimeter

    4. A floor is 9 m by 3 m. Find the area.

    Floor plan

    Use the labels and units shown in the diagram.

    Hint: Area is length multiplied by width.

  5. Volume

    5. Find the volume of a cube with side length 5 cm.

    Hint: For a cube, multiply the side length three times.

  6. Directions and Routes

    6. Which direction is opposite to west?

    Hint: Opposite directions point away from each other.

Readiness checklist

  • Check whether the question asks for a total, difference, change or final decision.
  • Keep units visible: £, p, cm, m, ml, l, g, kg, minutes and cm² where needed.
  • Use tables and diagrams to choose the right information before calculating.
  • Move to National 4 readiness when pupils can explain short practical decisions.
