Students identify how many unit squares cover given 2-dimensional shapes.

Students enlarge a shape on a grid and explore the relationship between scale factor and area.

Students calculate circumference, circular and square area of a road sign.

Students convert between millilitres, litres, pints and gallons, and kilometres and miles.

Students are given an outline of an investigation on heat loss from two different shaped objects (a cube and a sphere). They answer questions on variable control, repeat trialling, and they then graph data from this investigation.

Students design school library badges by creating four symmetrical patterns using 2-dimensional shapes. A display board template is included for students to put their work on.

Students expand and simplify algebraic expressions based on measurements of a path around a lawn.

For this NEMP task students perform a range of practical measuring tasks including calculations involving time and selection of appropriate units of measuring.

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.

Task: Students make predictions about evaporation rates of instances where surface areas are a factor, select which variable is being investigated in both examples and explain their answer. Assessment focus: Using knowledge of surface area to make predictions.

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.

Task: Select which stirrer would feel hottest and explain why, and in which container soup would cool fastest, and explain why. Assessment focus: heat conduction.

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.
