Students use diagrams of two boxes with given dimensions to calculate the volume of both boxes and the number of smaller boxes that could fit into one of the boxes.
For this NEMP task students calculate ratios, fractions, and percentages of numbers to solve problems involving numbers of blue and yellow bears. A sheet of coloured bears is provided.
In this practical task students need to weigh books, take measurements of length, convert these as required, and calculate volume and dimensions for a cover.
From diagrams of four original and enlarged drawings to be used for Christmas wrapping paper, students identify the scale factor used and find a missing length on either the enlarged picture or the original picture.
