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

Students read temperatures on thermometers and identify where changes of temperature would be marked.

Students convert units of weight - grams and kilograms - to answer questions a range of food items.

Students find the perimeters for range of different 4-sided polygons.

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

Student solve addition problems where the missing value is located in different positions. This may mean that students transform the problem into a subtraction one. Students reflect on the easiest and hardest problems, and explain their choice.

Students answer questions involving negative numbers about rising and falling water levels.

Students demonstrate their understanding of order of operations by explaining how a correct answer is calculated.
