Students predict the outcome of throwing five dice and confirm their predictions by conducting an experiment and calculating probabilities. After discussing how to get better estimates, they pool their results with others to get a more accurate estimate of how good their predictions were.
Students are asked to construct and label a line graph of words typed per minute by two students for each day of the week. Data is provided in a frequency table.
Students are required to use trigonometry to calculate the length of one side of a right-angled triangle in three problems based on a ski lift, a toy sail boat and a penguin on an iceberg.
Using the context of carpark lines, students are required to apply their knowledge of angles on parallel lines to calculate unknown angles and identify a non-parallel line from a selection of lines.
Students calculate the size of marked angles using their knowledge of angle properties: the angle between a tangent and a radius, the sum of angles in a triangle and the sum of angles in a quadrilateral.
