As students listen to the teacher read an adapted version of 'The Three Little Pigs' they construct a line graph showing how frightened the third little pig was feeling.
Students use coloured beads to make repeating pattern. They then identify the colour of specific beads in the pattern and explain how to work this out.
In this task students build the next two models of a spatial sequential pattern and then use their results to predict subsequent patterns and give general rules for these in words and in equations.
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.
For this NEMP task students calculate ratios, fractions, and percentages of numbers to solve problems involving numbers of blue and yellow bears. A sheet of coloured bears is provided.
Students use information in a table about exploding bottles of ginger beer to find the fractions and percentages of bottles that exploded or stayed sealed in given weeks.
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.
