Students use matchsticks to continue a triangular spatial pattern and write a rule to describe the number needed for each pattern. They then complete a table and a rule to show the relationship between the number of triangles and the number of matchsticks.
In this practical task, students use a coloured spinner and record the frequency of colours occurring. They then use their findings to record the probability of each event and interpret these.
This practical task requires students to lift a 1 kg weight and then estimate whether a range of everyday objects weigh less than, about the same as, or more than 1 kilogram.
In this practical task, students use pictures of meat and salad fillings to work out all possible combinations of sandwiches. An optional activity is to make actual sandwiches.
In the context of kicking a goal at rugby, students use Pythagoras' theorem to calculate distance. Students then use trigonometry to work out if the kick passes through the posts.
In this practical task, students interpret information presented in a strip graph, regroup the data, construct a new strip graph, and answer questions about the data.
The start of a spatial pattern of triangles is shown and described in a table. Students generate more of the pattern and describe the relationships algebraically.
For this practical task students collect time-series data on the change in water temperature in a container at regular time intervals. Students are also required to display their results on an appropriate graph.
