In this practical task, students collect data on the number of people in cars passing the school. They then record this, in a table and use the information to make a prediction.

Students predict the outcome of throwing five dice and confirm their predictions by conducting an experiment and calculating probabilities. After discussing how to get better estimates, they pool their results with others to get a more accurate estimate of how good their predictions were.

Students conduct a statistical investigation into the sentence length of different types of books by making and comparing dot plots.

Students conduct a practical, statistical investigation. They decide on a question, categories, conduct the survey, tally and graph the results on a bar graph.

Students estimate and tally the number of each activity their partner completes in 30 seconds. They then identify the best estimate.

Students state what things will affect how far a cube will travel when flicked in the middle with a ball-point pen, and conduct an experiment to see what happens in practice.

In this practical task, students follow a plan to construct a water timer. They then put on markings for times 1-5 minutes based on observations and recordings.

Students retell a myth or legend to another student. Suggestions for the speech content and scoring guides are included.

Pairs of students play a game with four dice, calculate the probability of winning the game, comment on how to get a more accurate estimate of the probability, and explain whether the game is fair based on their results.

A student speaks to another student or a small group about a news article. Two scoring guides are provided.
