Students select a non-standard unit of measure to measure an envelope and explain their choice.

This practical task has students investigate the surface area of three objects and whether this influences the rate of evaporation. Students fill in a table, and calculate the water loss and answer questions to show their understanding.

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.

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.

Students draw shapes to show how the perimeter increases and decreases for different shapes of the same area size.

This task requires students to develop questions about their local geology and name possible information sources.

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

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.

This task requires students to indicate the invariant properties of four transformations (translation, reflection, rotation, enlargement).

This task requires students to indicate, in a table, the invariant properties of four transformations (translation, reflection, rotation, enlargement) of a picture of a traffic light.

Students calculate the volume of 3-dimensional shapes made up from cubes.

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

Task: Describe problems caused by cutting down trees on a bank. Assessment focus: erosion.

Students find the perimeters for range of different 4-sided polygons.

Task: Answer questions about a planned wildlife reserve. Assessment focus: interdependence of animals with their habitat.

Students determine the probability of events related to a grid map.

Students identify the invariant properties of a translated and an enlarged shape.

Task: Complete a drawing of things found in an area of native bush and describe relationships between them. Assessment focus: interdependence in a native bush environment.

Task: Students play a tag game that simulates the relationships between elements within a waterway and discuss how different scenarios impact on the populations living there. Assessment focus: changes within a habitat affect everything living there.

Students are asked to work out the perimeter of different polygon shapes.

Students are provided with a map of NZ showing the average annual rainfall in different areas. Students interpret this information to answer three short answer questions, and then construct a bar graph that shows the rainfall for nine North Island locations.

Task: Use a diagram to answer questions about seasons and day and night. Assessment focus: relationship of Sun and Earth.

For this NEMP task students use multiplication and division operations in calculations involving fractions.

For this NEMP task students listened to a set of directions, then followed instructions to show this information on a map.
