For this NEMP task students look at a picture of a bicycle and write an advertisement to sell the bike in a newspaper column.

Students construct 3-dimensional shapes from plasticine and predict what the cross-section will be prior to cutting it.

In this practical task, students estimate and then measure temperatures.

The assessment focus is on an informative speech to a small group about a famous historical person. Student directions, a checklist, and scoring guides are included.

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

This practical task requires students to record data, which is read out to them, on a stem-and-leaf graph. The leaves are then ordered into a second graph and the graph interpreted.

Students show, interpret, and do calculations on times in both analogue and digital forms.

Students complete a table based on an algebraic formula for free fall velocity, plot the results, and interpret the graph.

Students perform calculations using whole numbers and negative numbers.

Students colour and cut out 4 shapes and fit them together to make tessellating patterns.

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

This task assesses a student's ability to persuade an audience to agree with their opinion. Some speech topics and a checklist are 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.

Students show how they perform an addition and a subtraction problem, and write their own subtraction story problem.

Students estimate an addition problem, share their methods, discuss grouping nice numbers, and then do a problem using this method, then design a question showing how it uses the method.

Students predict the outcome of throwing five dice and confirm their predictions by conducting an experiment and calculating probabilities. After discussing how to get better estimates, they pool their results with others to get a more accurate estimate of how good their predictions were.

Students use doubling and halving to solve multiplication problems.

Students show how they solve equal sharing problems.

Task: Students decide what sort of animals two skulls belong to. A self-assessment checklist is included. Assessment focus: using evidence to identify carnivores and herbivores.

Task: Complete a drawing of things found in a garden, and describe relationships between them. Assessment focus: interdependence in a garden.

In this NEMP task students discuss observations of six unknown common household powders. They design a chart for results, find properties for each, and identify what each powder is. Assessment focus: identifying substances; teamwork.

Students decide on the variables that will make an experiment about boiling water a fair test. Assessment focus: Recognising multiple variables.

Task: Predict, Observe, Explain, (POE) activity observing what happens to air in a balloon when it is heated. Assessment focus: behaviour of gases when heated and cooled.

For this practical task students are assessed on their ability to record their observations of the decomposition of a cut slice of pumpkin over a two week time period.

Students complete a table then describe and write a rule to work out the number of matchsticks needed to make alien shape patterns.
