Students demonstrate their understanding of standard form numbers by ordering given numbers from smallest to largest and by identifying the larger of two numbers.

Students show how they find the value of an unknown number in a range of linear equations.

Students use the commutative property to find missing numbers in equations and explain the property.

Students find the unknown for a range of equations that require number property knowledge and understanding of relational thinking.

Students use substitution to calculate the cost and length of time taken to repair washing machines, and formulate and solve a related linear equation.

Students solve mathematical problems involving weight. They also identify parts of the related linear equations.

Students calculate the charges for lawn mowing expressed as rate plus set-up cost.

Students compare the overall distribution of two graphs and describe their reasons.

Students interpret a bar chart that shows the stopping distance of cars and are asked which car is safe and why.

Students compare the area of two different triangles.

Students identify the most likely combination of throws for a fair coin, and explain their reasons.

Students identify multiples of 5 and of 3, and explain their reasoning.

This task assesses students' ability to analyse a text to identify and justify character traits and points of view, including the author's.

Students are required to describe the compass direction and distance that an ant travels toward different items of food positioned on a grid.

Students to show how to calculate problems that involve rates and ratios.

Students are required to explain the misleading aspects of two graphs found in newspaper articles.

Students are required to critique a survey and design another useful question to be included.

Students interpret a scatterplot and identify statements about both details and overall information.

Students read a poem about air to answer retrieval and inferential questions. SJ-2-2-1999. Text provided.

Students compare the overall distribution of two dot plots and describe their reasons.

Students identify the shaded fraction of a number of different shapes.

Students find the next three shapes in several growing shape patterns and explain how they worked out the shapes.

Students recognise equal and different likelihoods when playing a game of chance and explain their reasoning.

Students predict whether two dice games are fair and give their reasons. They then play each game (investigate) fifty times and explain their results.

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.
