This task requires students to show how to calculate multiplication problems with multi-digit numbers.

Students answer maths problems involving multiplication, and show their working.

Students use doubling and halving to solve a number of multiplication problems.

Students show how to divide given amounts into the number of groups of a given size.

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 select a non-standard unit of measure to measure an envelope and explain their choice.

Students listen to a folktale to recall information and make inferences.

Student select shapes that are similar but not squares and explain what makes them squares or not.

Students estimate a subtraction problem, share their methods, discuss the rounding one number method, and then do more problems by rounding one number.

Students write a set of instructions after reading a poem about cooking. Students self-assess their writing before conferencing with the teacher to set their next learning steps.

Students identify common spelling errors, taken from the essential word lists, and write the identified errors correctly. Students also identify lines of text without errors.

Students write a set of instructions after reading a science article about growing crystals. Students assess their own writing using the supports provided.

Students draw shapes of given areas, and choose from the bigger area, explaining their reasoning.

Students match given fractions to images of milk bottles to show how full each bottle is.

Task: Students apply both their knowledge of the functions of roots and information from a model to explain why care is needed when transplanting trees. Assessment focus: interpreting diagrams.

Task: Complete chart to show how birds' feet and beaks are suitably adapted for their particular food and environment. Assessment focus: inference.

Task: Predict which of three balls dropped from different heights will squash most, explain why, and design an investigation to test prediction. Assessment focus: acceleration and fair testing.

Students read a short narrative recount and indicate each place in which a paragraph break is needed.

Students categorise statements according to whether they are evidence or inferences. They make inferences about moa, supporting them with evidence. Assessment focus: thinking in scientific ways.

Task: Students decide what sort of animals two skulls belong to. A self-assessment checklist is included. Assessment focus: using evidence to identify carnivores and herbivores.

Task: Use written text and pictures to explain how the special features of Old Man's Beard help it survive. Assessment focus: identifying how the special features help this plant to survive.

Students match given fractions to images of milk bottles to show how full each bottle is.

Students convert heights of a building into the percentage of the given total height, explaining how they solved some conversions. Assessment focus is on how they calculate these heights and what strategies they use.

In this task students decide which people are estimating and which are not, and explain their reasoning.

Students predict whether two dice games are fair and give their reasons. They then play each game (investigate) fifty times and explain their results.
