Task: interpret a graph of a car's journey and add to the graph to represent a further description of the journey. Assessment focus: graph interpretation.
Students continue two number patterns of diamonds in a sequential pattern, state the general rule for the number sequences and use the rule to find the pattern number with a given number of diamonds.
The start of a spatial pattern of triangles is shown and described in a table. Students generate more of the pattern and describe the relationships algebraically.
A spatial pattern involving the area of a shape is represented by a table and a diagram. Students describe the rule in words and as an algebraic expression.
Students interpret a table that describes the relationship between turkey size and cooking time, and show how they would extrapolate from it. Students also give a general rule for the relationship in words and as an equation.
Students use substitution into equations to evaluate the number of blocks and total surface areas in shapes of different heights.
The stimulus can be used as a challenging task to try and derive the rules from the spatial pattern. This is classified as Patterns and Relationships.
