Students solve subtraction maths problems and show their strategy for working it out.

Students first do the science activity Throwing Balloons 2 (PW2548) where they predict, observe, and explain what will happen when a balloon containing another balloon filled with water is thrown. Then the students do this writing task where they describe the balloon and what happened when it was thrown, and explain why they think it moved the way it did. Six annotated exemplars of student scripts (writing) are included under the "Working with Students" tab.

Students show or explain how two different fraction numbers can represent the same fraction.

Students show how to solve some subtraction problems.

After reading a narrative that is about sibling rivalry, students identify evidence in the text that supports their thinking. Assessment focus: analysis and evaluation of a character and the author's construction of him. (There is a link to the text used for this resource in the Task administration section of the Teacher information pages.) Reading age <8. SJ-1-5-2004. Text provided.

This comprehension task involves progressively disclosing a poem to students. It assesses their ability to visualise and infer. SJ-3-3-1989. Text not provided.

Students use evidence in a text to make inferences about a character's feelings. They analyse these within scaffolding activities, synthesising their thinking to suggest the author's message.

Students estimate a multiplication problem, share their methods, discuss the rounding method, and then do more estimation problems using rounding.

Students estimate an addition problem, share their methods, discuss the averaging method, and then do more problems using averaging.

Students estimate an addition problem, share their methods, discuss the rounding method, and then do more problems using rounding.

Students predict nets that fold to make a cube, then cut out and fold the nets to check their prediction.

Students identify common spelling errors and write the identified errors correctly. Students also identify lines of text without errors.

Students estimate an addition problem, share their methods, discuss the front-end method and then do more problems using front-end.

Students show how to solve a series of algebraic expressions by substituting given numbers.

This resource assesses students' ability to identify and correct common spelling errors, taken from the essential word lists of commonly misspelt words.

Students estimate a subtraction problem, share their methods, discuss the rounding one number method, and then do more problems by rounding one number.

Students round given decimal numbers to the nearest tenths, hundredths, and thousandths and identify possible original numbers from rounded numbers.

After reading the text, students recall the sequence of the story and some details. To do this, students are given a list of words to select from. Students justify their inferences based on the evidence in the written and visual texts.

After reading the text, students work on this resource with a partner, recalling the sequence of the story and some details. To do this, students are given a list of words to select from. Students justify their inferences based on the evidence in the written and visual texts.

Students order fractions from smallest to greatest, and work out fractions of an amount.

Students order a range of fractions on a number line.

Students show where different fractions are positioned on a number line.

Students cut out and attach fractions onto a number line in order from smallest to largest.

Students explore the concept of equality by deciding whether addition sentences are true, false or not proper number sentences.

Students read a report on a fisheries officer's work and make mainly short written responses. The assessment focus is on comprehension and vocabulary. SJ-3-3-1990. Text provided.
