For this NEMP task students perform calculations related to birth dates; and solve measurement problems which involve temperature, area and perimeter.

Students work out how many triangular prism shapes there are in larger cuboid, and answer questions about volume of both shapes.

Students identify whether litres or millilitres would be the best unit of measurement for a range of everyday measuring tasks.

Students answer questions that involve calculating the capacities of different situations.

Students use the term force to explain why a heavier hammer could drive nails into denser material and explain density.
