In the context of kicking a goal at rugby, students use Pythagoras' theorem to calculate distance. Students then use trigonometry to work out if the kick passes through the posts.
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.
From diagrams of four original and enlarged drawings to be used for Christmas wrapping paper, students identify the scale factor used and find a missing length on either the enlarged picture or the original picture.
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.
Students interpret a histogram showing the number of vehicles travelling at different speeds past a speed camera. Students need to calculate a percentage and the median to complete this task.
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 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.
Students use given information to solve a story problem about paper deliveries and identify the correct algebraic equation for the answer. They also write an algebraic equation for a similar story problem.
