Students complete a table showing the number of matchsticks used in a spatial pattern, identify the number of matchsticks required for a given shape, and describe the rule for the pattern.
In this practical task, students make specified 3-dimensional shapes, and then sort them into two groups according to criteria that the student defines.
Students identify and continue the number pattern for a stack of cans and complete a graph to demonstrate the relationship between two sets of numbers.
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.
