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.
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.
This practical task requires students to lift a 1 kg weight and then estimate whether a range of everyday objects weigh less than, about the same as, or more than 1 kilogram.
In this practical task, students use pictures of meat and salad fillings to work out all possible combinations of sandwiches. An optional activity is to make actual sandwiches.
Students study two graphs on some rocks and lake features of Saharan North Africa and answer a mix of questions to show this ability to interpret these graphs.
