In this practical task, students are to estimate the cost of meals ordered from a menu. The teacher reads out the meals and students show the steps in their estimations.
Students explain how they can work out how many striped or shaded beads are needed for a number of repeated 'sets', and identify the number of striped and shaded beads for given numbers of sets.
Students conduct a statistical investigation about their prediction of the most common words used in English. They make graphs, describe their shape, and compare their own graph with ones that other students produce.
Students compare drawings of a healthy and unhealthy plant and decide which quantitative and/or qualitative data distinguishes them. They draw conclusions from the data. This is a mathematics/science resource.
Students identify fractions that are greater than a half and explain their reasoning. They also identify how far from half some fractions are and name a fraction closer to half than one given.
Students state what things will affect how far a cube will travel when flicked in the middle with a ball-point pen, and conduct an experiment to see what happens in practice.
