Students calculate the repair charges for two different washing machine repair companies, and compare and explain their results.

Students solve mathematical problems involving distance, and identify parts of an algebraic expression.

Students calculate the cost of hiring a search and rescue helicopter and compare this cost with another helicopter company's charges.

Students calculate the repair charges of two different garages, graph them, and explain the results.

Students identify different shapes from clues about their properties and then create their own clues to share with a buddy.

Students identify positions on a grid using grid references.

Students identify towns and cities on a map using compass points.

Students write short paragraphs using geometrical terms to describe two pictures. The terms equilateral, scalene, and isosceles are to be used to describe a castle. The words circumference, diameter, and radius are to be used to describe a bicycle.

For this task students are required to record, in a table, the compass bearings of objects shown on a submarine radar screen. Distances from the submarine are also recorded.

Students draw in places onto a map following compass directions given in relation to existing landmarks.

Students identify distances and mark positions on a treasure map with a scale.

Students use a plan of the school and a scale to answer questions about length and distance of buildings and courts in the school.

Students write the bearing and distance of a number of objects on a radar screen.

Students decide what information is required to calculate an average.

Students complete a line graph to show the daily height of a lettuce plant, giving their graph a title and labelling both axes.

Students need to interpret data about travel time to school and common after-school activities and identify which statement is true from a list of given statements.

Students are asked to study a bar graph of ways to travel to school and write down five things that are wrong with the way the graph is set up.

Students decide whether a graph is suitable to display category data and explain their answer.

Students answer questions from a histogram of distance of discus throws. Calculation is required.

Students identify a correct statement about the overall distribution of a graph and explain their reasoning.

Students construct and label a bar graph of the colour of passing cars from data in a table and answer questions interpreting the results.

Students decide if a graph is suitable to display category data and explain the reasons.

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 locate positions on a treasure map using the major compass directions.

Students identify whether reflection, rotation, or translation best describes how a shape has been transformed.
