In this practical task students use a grid squares overlay to estimate the area of six shapes by counting the number of squares each shape covers.

Students calculate or estimate the area for each of three shapes on a grid.

Students are required to describe the compass direction and distance that an ant travels toward different items of food positioned on a grid.

Students enlarge a shape made of cubes and explore the relationship between the scale factor and volume.

For this task students are required to record, in a table, the compass bearings of objects shown on a submarine radar screen. Distances from the submarine are also recorded.

Students use a plan of the school and a scale to answer questions about length and distance of buildings and courts in the school.

On grids, students enlarge shapes by different scale factors through given centres of enlargement.

This task requires students to enlarge two patterns on a grid using centres of enlargement and scale factors.

Students construct enlargements of 2-dimensional shapes using sticks.

In this practical task, students estimate how many multi-link blocks equal the length of two common classroom items. They then check their estimate with the blocks, then measure with a ruler.

Students complete statements which explore the relationship between scale factor enlargements and length, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional shapes.

Using isometric dots, students enlarge a 3-dimensional shape by a scale factor of 2.

In this practical task students use a ruler, a protractor, and a compass to enlarge an arrow by two given scale factors. They then complete a table to show the invariant properties.

Students identify invariant properties for enlargement.

In this practical task, students first estimate, then measure, how many 500ml jars it takes to fill a 1 litre and a 3 litre container

This task requires students to draw, on a grid, an enlargement of a radio station logo. The scale factor and the centre of enlargement are given. Students answer a question about the area of the original compared to the enlarged logo.

In this practical task, students follow a plan to construct a water timer. They then put on markings for times 1-5 minutes based on observations and recordings.

Students measure images of objects on a centimetre ruler.

Students read scales to measure images of objects to the nearest tenth of a centimetre.

Students work out area, length and angles of a shape after enlargement.

Students match pictures of objects with a list of capacities involving litres and millilitres.

For this NEMP task students calculate the number of tiles needed to cover the area of several rooms.

On a grid, students enlarge the net for a box by a scale factor of 3.

Students use trigonometry to find missing distances in three everyday problems.

Using given trigonometry ratios, students calculate distances in practical problems.
