Students construct a line graph to show the relationship between Zoe's heartbeats at different times of the day.

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.

Students complete a table showing the number of rungs for different sized ladders. They complete a sentence stating the rule to calculate the number of rungs given the length, and use the rule to identify if a ladder, at a lean, will reach a given height and show their working.

Students cut out shapes and rotate them to find the number of times each shape fits onto itself in a complete turn.

This task assesses students' ability to provide examples of different parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb) in the context of writing two four-word alliteration poems.

Students use a given example of a blurb about a book to create their own blurb for a book of their choice.

Students create a character vignette with a focus on writing pieces that are brief, descriptive, and set in one point in time. They should not be concerned with plot. As the emphasis is on quality rather than quantity, students need to show a controlled and elegant skill in writing, and to use figurative language to 'show' rather than 'tell'.

This task has students writing about themselves. Assessment focus: the use of capitals.

Students identify phrases within sentences which provide additional information, and enclose these phrases using commas.

Students demonstrate their understanding of standard form numbers by ordering given numbers from smallest to largest and by identifying the larger of two numbers.

Students reflect on notes taken during a rugby game to write an effective report. They also consider some features that will add effect to their report. A link to student support material is given under the "Working with Students" tab.

Students draw a strange space creature from an oral description. The assessment focus is on listening to descriptions, recalling details, and following instructions.

Students draw a strange sea creature from an oral description. The assessment focus is on listening to descriptions, recalling details, and following instructions.

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.

Students solve a number of mathematical problems involving money and distance, and compare the results to identify the cheapest taxi company.

Students explain why three sentences are ambiguous and rewrite them to make the meaning clearer.

This comprehension task involves progressively disclosing a poem to students. It assesses their ability to infer.

Students read a Junior Journal article about tree cutting. From their comprehension of the story they complete a retrieval chart and explain the figurative language used.

The context of this task is a story about a power cut. Students identify the changing feelings of the children in the story and record these as a graph over time.

Students read fifteen statements and identify the six statements of opinion.

Students use rounding to estimate totals then discuss this as a method of estimation.

Students solve problems involving rates of pay based on a formula using powers, and compare this to a fixed rate of pay.

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.

Students draw the next two triangles in a spatial pattern, calculate the areas of a range of triangles, work out the height of a triangle given its area, and write a rule for the pattern.

Students use substitution into equations to evaluate the number of blocks and total surface areas in shapes of different heights. The stimulus can be used as a challenging task to try and derive the rules from the spatial pattern. This is classified as Patterns and Relationships.
