Students answer two questions about exercise times for an incrementing fitness programme. They identify an expression relating time exercised to the number of weeks on the programme, and explain why this pattern couldn't continue indefinitely.
Students interpret a graph of the Hare's Progress to answer questions about rate, rest, and reading sections of the graph. They also identify the constant motion of the tortoise and explain the result of the race.
Students complete a table to show a fitness plan pattern, finish a equation to describe the relationship, and answer questions to demonstrate their understanding of the pattern.
Students complete a table showing the number of matchsticks used to build a series of pentagons. They identify the number of matchsticks required for a given pentagon and state the rule as an word equation.
This practical task requires students to use straws to build up a linear pattern. Students then predict the number of straws needed for successive patterns and explain their rule.
Students use coloured beads to make repeating pattern. They then identify the colour of specific beads in the pattern and explain how to work this out.
In this task students build the next two models of a spatial sequential pattern and then use their results to predict subsequent patterns and give general rules for these in words and in equations.
Students complete a table showing times to boil different quantities of water. They identify the rule that relates the amount of water to boiling time and use it to answer questions.
Students complete a table to show a fitness plan pattern, finish a rule to describe the relationship, and answer questions to demonstrate their understanding of the pattern
