Refine Current Search

Task: Identify direction of currents and explain reason for pattern. Assessment focus: convection patterns.

Students conduct a practical, statistical investigation. They decide on a Topic and question, conduct the survey, complete the tally chart, construct a bar graph of the major ideas and make statements about the results.

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.

Students identify and give rules for when numbers are divisible by three or by nine.

Students identify the order of rotational symmetry for a number of shapes.

Students compare the overall distribution of two dot plots and describe their reasons.

Students conduct a statistical investigation about their prediction of the most common words used in English. They make graphs, describe their shape, and compare their own graph with ones that other students produce.

Students identify true and false statements, and provide a description of the most important features of a time series graph.

For this practical task the entire class is involved in an outside activity that looks at camouflage and warning colouration. Students then share their results and answer a number of questions.

Students interpret a back-to-back bar graph comparing and identifying a pattern in the data.

Students recognise equal and different likelihoods when playing a game of chance and explain their reasoning.

Students identify fractions that are greater than one, explain their reasoning and identify how far from one some fractions are.

Students state what things will affect how far a cube will travel when flicked in the middle with a ball-point pen, and conduct an experiment to see what happens in practice.

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.

Students construct a back-to-back stem-and-leaf graph for heights of trees. They then answer a question on range and make a statement comparing the heights of akeake and kōhūhū.

Students interpret a back stem-and-leaf graph to answer questions about a measurement investigation.

Task: Use data in a table to construct a graph and answer questions about the patterns. Assessment focus: interpreting tables and graphs.

Students identify multiples of 4 and of 6, and explain their reasoning.

Students predict how a cube will travel when flicked in different positions, and conduct an experiment to see what happens in practice.

Students conduct a statistical investigation into the sentence length of different types of books by making and comparing dot plots.

Task: Read information and compare the special features that influence the chances of survival of black robins and fantails. Assessment focus: interpreting text to identify risk factors for survival.

Task: Use features of velociraptors to make inferences about their life style. Assessment focus: using evidence to make inferences.

Students look closely at a photograph taken on the beach and record their observations. They think and write about the consequences of the things they see.

Task: Select which state of water applies to a list of places where water can be found. Assessment focus: states of water.

Students identify a correct statement about the comparing the overall distribution of two dot plots.
