Students use matchsticks to continue a triangular spatial pattern and write a rule to describe the number needed for each pattern. They then complete a table and a rule to show the relationship between the number of triangles and the number of matchsticks.
Students calculate the size of marked angles using their knowledge of angle properties: the angle between a tangent and a radius, the sum of angles in a triangle and the sum of angles in a quadrilateral.
For this NEMP task students calculate the amount of pipe length and the minimum number of corners needed to make a cube-shaped frame with 1 metre edges.
