This task requires students to write a set of instructions based on compass directions that would guide a lost tramper to a Rescue Hut on a map with marked paths and landmarks.
The context for this task is a grid-referenced map of historical sites. Students locate items at three grid references then write the grid references for all the castles on the map.
Students identify the correct resultant vector of two component vectors, and also identify the correct diagram of a vector that is written in column form.
In this practical task students design a net for a lidded cardboard box to hold 3 "chocolate bars" represented by hundreds blocks. They then cut out and construct the box.
Students write short paragraphs using geometrical terms to describe two pictures. The terms equilateral, scalene, and isosceles are to be used to describe a castle. The words circumference, diameter, and radius are to be used to describe a bicycle.
For this task students are required to record, in a table, the compass bearings of objects shown on a submarine radar screen. Distances from the submarine are also recorded.
