Students write an argument either for or against daily physical education in schools. Support materials and links to exemplars for writing an argument are given under the "Working with Students" tab.
The start of a spatial pattern of triangles is shown and described in a table. Students generate more of the pattern and describe the relationships algebraically.
For this practical task students collect time-series data on the change in water temperature in a container at regular time intervals. Students are also required to display their results on an appropriate graph.
Task: Identify adaptations of 3 animals that live under the soil, and design an animal that could live underground. Self-assess the design by considering given criteria. Assessment focus: adaptations that enable an animal to live underground.
The assessment focus is on an informative speech to a small group about a famous person. Student directions, a checklist, and scoring guides are included.
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.
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 are required to use trigonometry to calculate the length of one side of a right-angled triangle in three problems based on a ski lift, a toy sail boat and a penguin on an iceberg.
