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.
Students identify fractions that are greater than a half and explain their reasoning. They also identify how far from half some fractions are and name a fraction closer to half than one given.
Students demonstrate their understanding of a graph showing the relationship between the cost of different bottles of drink and the amount each bottle contains. They then explain which bottle of drink is the best value for money paid.
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 discuss making an interval estimate in multiplication problems (i.e., getting a lower and an upper limit for the actual answer using the front-end and rounding-up estimation methods). They then use this method on two problems.
Students estimate an addition problem, share their methods, discuss grouping nice numbers, and then do a problem using this method, then design a question showing how it uses the method.
