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.
Students calculate the size of marked angles using their knowledge of angle properties: the angle between a tangent and a radius, the sum of angles in a triangle and the sum of angles in a quadrilateral.
For this NEMP task students calculate the amount of pipe length and the minimum number of corners needed to make a cube-shaped frame with 1 metre edges.
For this NEMP task students calculate ratios, fractions, and percentages of numbers to solve problems involving numbers of blue and yellow bears. A sheet of coloured bears is provided.
The start of a spatial pattern of triangles is shown and described in a table. Students generate more of the pattern and describe the relationships algebraically.
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 calculate the cost of several cans of soft drinks, the maximum number bought for a given cost, and the change given after buying several cans.
