For this NEMP task students perform a range of practical measuring tasks including calculations involving time and selection of appropriate units of measuring.
Different selections are made from a canteen menu that will cost a given amount. An extension activity is given that asks for all possible combinations to be found.
Students complete a table showing the number of counters used to make a series of L-shapes. They identify the number of counters needed for different situations, and describe the relationship as a rule.
As students listen to the teacher read an adapted version of 'The Three Little Pigs' they construct a line graph showing how frightened the third little pig was feeling.
Students carry out an investigation to determine the frequency and percentage of different numbers resulting from 100 dice throws. They construct a table to record the results.
This practical task requires students to record data, which is read out to them, on a stem-and-leaf graph. The leaves are then ordered into a second graph and the graph interpreted.
In this practical task, students estimate, and then measure, the weight of two objects using a number of multi-link cubes, a balance scale and weights.
