Students show that given a fractional part they can show the whole shape or another fractional part.

Students use cuisenaire rods to work out part-whole fraction problems.

In this practical task students use counters to show fractions of whole numbers.

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 determine the probability of finding a lost cat in various locations marked on a grid map.

Students use given sums, differences, and products to identify factors in each basic fact.

Students answer questions about weight and number of packets of biscuits for a school fundraising project.

Students calculate the weight for different numbers of soccer balls and calculate the weight for a given number of soccer balls.

Students order a set of student's weights from lightest to heaviest and identify the three students needed to equal a given weight total.

Students demonstrate their understanding of place value by ordering numbers, showing numbers on an abacus, and naming place and total values.

Students identify square numbers and write the equation showing the factors for each.

Students draw the next two triangles in a spatial pattern, calculate the areas of a range of triangles, work out the height of a triangle given its area, and write a rule for the pattern.

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 complete a table to describe a spatial pattern, and write an equation to express the rule.

Students identify lowest and highest values from 2- and 3-digit whole numbers.

Students calculate the lengths of circles and straight lines on an oval athletics track from its given radius and total length, and show their working.
