Revision questions

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

  1. Money

    1. A customer pays with £30.00 for shopping costing £8.75. How much change should they get?

    Hint: Subtract the total cost from the amount paid.

  2. Time

    2. A class starts at 08:20 and lasts 70 minutes. What time does it finish?

    Hint: Add hours first, then minutes. Exchange 60 minutes for 1 hour.

  3. Measurement

    3. A jug scale is marked in litres. The water level is at 5. What capacity is shown?

    Hint: Read the number shown on the litre scale.

  4. Tables and Graphs

    4. A travel bar chart is shown. How many pupils did not travel by car?

    Travel to school

    Walk
    12
    Bus
    21
    Car
    9
    Cycle
    4

    Each bar is labelled with its value.

    Hint: Read both bars, then subtract to compare.

  5. Probability

    5. A bag has 5 red counters and 4 blue counters. What is the probability of picking a red counter?

    Hint: Write favourable outcomes over total outcomes.

  6. Fractions

    6. Write 310 as a decimal

    Hint: Tenths are written in the first decimal place.

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.
