Students are asked to work out the perimeter of different polygon shapes.

Students identify which square, from a selection of five, is the original square resized by a given scale factor.

Students identify invariant properties for enlargement.

Students complete equations that give the rule for the general term for a number of spatial patterns.

Assessment focus: ability of students to use both knowledge acquired from the text and their own backgrounds. This task assesses student ability to critically engage with media texts.

This task requires students to indicate the invariant properties of four transformations (translation, reflection, rotation, enlargement).

Students answer a multiple choice question about what happens when a magnetised object is cut in half, and then draw the lines of the magnetic field around two magnets.

Students identify the correct line of symmetry from a selection of different shapes with mirror lines.

Students identify the invariant properties of a translated and an enlarged shape.

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.

For this practical task students investigate the magnetic fields that exist around a horseshoe magnet. Students then use two bar magnets to investigate what happens when similar and unlike poles are facing each other.

Students are provided with drawings of the main types of fingerprints. Students then make their own fingerprint and those of three other students. They then classify and describe the differences between these prints.

Students outline four things that would need to be done to look after a garden for a month.

Task: complete two multiple choice questions. Assessment focus: respiration of marine mammals and fish.

Students continue tessellating patterns which all use the same base shape.

Students enlarge shapes by whole number scale factors.

Task: Predict, observe, and explain where a piece of wood floats in a container of water and oil. Assessment focus: flotation related to density; explaining predictions.

Students identify fractions that are greater than one, explain their reasoning and identify how far from one some fractions are.

Task: Match insects to their adaptations for protection against enemies, and infer two ways stick insects are adapted for their protection against predators. Assessment focus: using observations to make suggestions about survival methods.

Students compare drawings of a healthy and unhealthy plant, collect data, and decide which data distinguishes them. This is a mathematics/science resource.

Task: Use evidence to make inferences about how leaves help plants survive in particular environments. Assessment focus: leaf adaptations.

Students use cubes to construct part of a spatial pattern and answer questions on how to continue it.

Students use rules to work out the number of shapes or matches in spatial patterns, and complete an algebraic rule from a word rule.

Students calculate the lengths and areas of a road sign.

Students unpack a picture, making inferences from its visual cues. SJ-1-2-1998. Text provided.
