Students respond to and give directions about a simple path on a map involving right or left turns.

This task requires students to write a set of instructions based on compass directions that would guide a lost tramper to a Rescue Hut on a map with marked paths and landmarks.

Students display their knowledge of algorithms by filling in missing digits for some computations.

Students to show how to calculate problems that involve rates and ratios.

For this practical task students are required to follow, by physically stepping them out, a set of compass directions.

Students compare a data table and a line graph and identify features that are missing or incorrect in the graph.

Students are required to explain the misleading aspects of two graphs found in newspaper articles.

Students are required to critique a survey and design another useful question to be included.

Students interpret a scatterplot and identify statements about both details and overall information.

Students pose a question for an investigation about favourite sports. They then construct a table that could record the results.

Using a diagram of a spinner, students choose the chances of the arrow landing on particular numbers.

Students interpret a tally chart to answer questions about the proportion and probability of outcomes from a coin toss.

Students show understanding of probability by selecting a fraction to represent the colours of choosing an article of clothing from a drawer.

Students determine the probability of a hot air balloon landing in various locations marked on a grid map.

Students use fractions to describe the probability of an arrow landing on different bands of a target.

Students construct a time line by selecting the best analogue time for a range of common daily activities.

Students construct and label a pie graph of favourite drinks from data in a table. They also interpret results involving proportions.

Students compare the overall distribution of two dot plots and describe their reasons.

Students identify the shaded fraction of a number of different shapes.

Students find the next three shapes in several growing shape patterns and explain how they worked out the shapes.

Students recognise equal and different likelihoods when playing a game of chance and explain their reasoning.

Students predict whether two dice games are fair and give their reasons. They then play each game (investigate) fifty times and explain their results.

Students predict the outcome of throwing five dice and confirm their predictions by conducting an experiment and calculating probabilities. After discussing how to get better estimates, they pool their results with others to get a more accurate estimate of how good their predictions were.

Students throw two dice, add the numbers together, construct a tally chart of results, and compare theoretical with observed outcome.

Students count the number of pairs thrown in a series of throws of three dice to evaluate the long-run relative frequency of getting a pair.
