This task requires students to calculate the size of angles using their knowledge of angles and parallel lines: alternate angles, corresponding angles and co-interior angles. Understanding of adjacent angles on a straight line is also required.
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.
