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.
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.
Students use raw data to construct a table and then a bar graph of the number of runs scored in softball games. Students are also required to make a statement about the results.
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.
Students calculate an exact square root and estimate approximate square roots by finding the length of the square flower bed of a given area, and give an explanation for their answers.
Students display data on a back-to-back stem-and-leaf graph to show the times taken to complete two walks. The longer of the two walks is then identified.
