Here is a great quiz from karenjs231 on angles. Remember in GCSE there are often angles questions where 1 mark is for finding the right answer and the other is for explaining why, eg stating angles in an isosceles triangle add up to 180 degrees and 2 must be equal.

In May 2015 the United Kingdom went to the polls. A Conservative Government was elected. The UK uses the “first past the post” electoral system. The country is divided into 650 constituencies. The candidate with the most votes from each constituency is elected.
Most other countries in Europe use various forms of proportional representation. This means that the number of MP’s for each party would be proportional to the number of votes that were cast for them. (There are many different forms of PR, but in this exercise, to keep it simple we are going to work out the number of MPs by dividing the vote for each party by the total vote and then multiplying by 650, which is the total number of MP’s in the House of Commons. )
First fill in the missing numbers in this table. You will need a calculator. Remember that to round to two decimal places you need to look at the 3rd decimal place. If this is 5 or more round the 2nd decimal place up. If it is less than 5 then ignore it. eg 34.349239=34.35 to 2dp. 2.983432909=2.98 to 2 dp.
If you got the first exercise correct I want you to illustrate your results with two pie charts. Use this table to work out the degrees for each party. You can draw them in excel or with a protractor and pencil.
If you would rather do this exercise using a worksheet download here.

A film about emotions, maths, relationships and autism. Partially set in my home town of Sheffield and highly recommended by Maths with Graham! Have any of my autistic friends seen this film? I would love to know what you thought about it.

Pythagoras Theorem states that the square on the hypotenuse of a right angled triange is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In algebra
a2+b2=c2
