Task: Students decide whether six animals are insects or spiders and justify their answers. Assessment focus: Using evidence.

Students answer questions involving adding and subtracting fractions of food.

Students interpret time frames and slope from a graph showing the area of a painted wall over time.

Students use a number line to show how to solve whole number addition and subtraction problems.

Task: Make careful observations of a picture to decide what you can see and what you might know but can't see.

Students calculate the volume of three different cuboid-shaped fish tanks given the height, length and width.

In this task students build the next two models of a spatial sequential pattern and then use their results to predict subsequent patterns and give general rules for these in words and in equations.

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.

From given examples, students define four root words then complete a chart of root words and their meanings.

An account of a fishing adventure in a lagoon provides the content for this cloze exercise. Students use their vocabulary and knowledge of grammar to create well-formed sentences.

In this practical task, students use a coloured spinner and record the frequency of colours occurring. They then use their findings to record the probability of each event and interpret these.

Students identify the fraction that best describes the proportion of triangles that are shaded in.

Students read an article about shoeing a horse and find information from it to complete a retrieval chart.

An article about a clown is read by students who then complete a retrieval chart about his job.

Task: multiple choice questions and interpreting a diagram. Assessment focus: phases of the moon.

Task: Students differentiate between simple observations and inferences, and between observations that require measurement and those that do not. Assessment focus: observing scientifically.

This practical task requires students to follow an experimental design that investigates various forms of insulation. They are required to gather results, make a conclusion, and identify the variables.

Choose which toy vehicle will roll further, and explain why. The two vehicles are set up under different conditions (ramps at different slopes, rolling onto different surfaces at the bottom). Assessment focus: science explanations using ideas about forces and energy.

For this practical task students record their observations as an egg is poached in water.

Students use diagrams of rock layers to answer questions concerning geological history, oldest layer, and to account for the presence of fossils.

In this task students compare two photographs of a river with normal flow and a river in flood. They make inferences based on their observations.
