In this practical task students use a ruler, a protractor, and a compass to enlarge an arrow by two given scale factors. They then complete a table to show the invariant properties.

Students enlarge a diagram to a given scale.

From two different street sign pictures and their enlargements, students are to identify the scale factor of each enlargement and either a missing length or the missing factor when enlarging the area.

This task requires students to draw, on a grid, an enlargement of a radio station logo. The scale factor and the centre of enlargement are given. Students answer a question about the area of the original compared to the enlarged logo.

In this practical task, students estimate the weight of two different sized bags, then check their estimates using kitchen scales.

Students answer questions about weight and number of packets of biscuits for a school fundraising project.

Students convert units of weight - grams and kilograms - to answer questions a range of food items.

Students convert units of weight - milligram, gram, kilogram, and tonne, in order to answer questions about potatoes.

In this practical task, students estimate, then measure, the weight of two bags using kitchen scales.

Students calculate the weight for different numbers of soccer balls and calculate the weight for a given number of soccer balls.

Students order a set of student's weights from lightest to heaviest and identify the three students needed to equal a given weight total.

Students identify the largest weight of cuts of meat, and convert kilograms into grams.

Students calculate an exact square root and estimate approximate square roots by finding the length of the square flower bed of a given area, and give an explanation for their answers.

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 perform calculations in standard form.

In this practical task, students work in small groups to present a dance based on geometric concepts.

For this NEMP task students perform calculations using fractions and mixed numbers.

Students write a report on a table of data and make recommendations from their report.

Students compare the strength of drinks with different rates of drink powder per volume of water.

A spatial pattern involving the area of a shape is represented by a table and a diagram. Students describe the rule in words and as an algebraic expression.

Students use substitution into equations to evaluate the number of blocks and total surface areas in shapes of different heights. The stimulus can be used as a challenging task to try and derive the rules from the spatial pattern. This is classified as Patterns and Relationships.

Students construct a composite bar graph on areas of female employment in 1956 and 1996. They also answer questions interpreting and comparing the data.

Students identify an equation which expresses the volume of a cuboid and calculate the number of blocks in a different cuboid.

Students work out area, length and angles of a shape after enlargement.

Students draw the next two triangles in a spatial pattern, calculate the areas of a range of triangles, work out the height of a triangle given its area, and write a rule for the pattern.
