Maths resources

Students work out fractional values of whole numbers in a range of contexts and show their working.

Students show how to divide given amounts into the number of groups of a given size.

Students show how they perform an addition and a subtraction problem, and write their own subtraction story problem.

Students explain why a range of students' answers to a maths problem are incorrect.

This task requires students to estimate some addition problems using any appropriate method.

This task requires students to estimate some addition problems using any appropriate method.

Students to show how they estimate in some addition problems.

Students estimate an addition problem, share their methods, discuss the averaging method, and then do more problems using averaging.

Students discuss making an interval estimate in multiplication problems (i.e., getting a lower and an upper limit for the actual answer using the front-end and rounding-up estimation methods). They then use this method on two problems.

Students estimate a multiplication problem, share their methods, discuss the rounding method, and then do more estimation problems using rounding.

Students estimate a multiplication problem, share their methods, discuss the front-end method, and then do more problems using front-end.

Students estimate an addition problem, share their methods, discuss the front-end method and then do more problems using front-end.

In this task students decide which people are estimating and which are not, and explain their reasoning.

Students estimate an addition problem, share their methods, discuss grouping nice numbers, and then do a problem using this method, then design a question showing how it uses the method.

This practical task involves students making estimates of sets of items and demonstrating their method(s) of estimation.

In this practical task, students are to estimate the cost of meals ordered from a menu. The teacher reads out the meals and students show the steps in their estimations.

This practical task involves students making best estimates of sets of items and clearly demonstrating their method(s) of estimation.

Students estimate and explain how they estimated their answer for two number problems: one involving multiplication; and the other division.

Students show how they would carry out estimation of multiplication tasks.

Students answer questions involving finding fractions in story problems about marbles and write their answer in its simplest form.

Students decide if a percentage statement is correct and explain their answer.

Students enlarge a shape made of cubes and explore the relationship between the scale factor and volume.

For this NEMP task students use a grid map of an island to locate positions and describe ways to move from one position to another.

The context for this task is a grid-referenced map of historical sites. Students locate items at three grid references then write the grid references for all the castles on the map.

Students identify the correct resultant vector of two component vectors, and also identify the correct diagram of a vector that is written in column form.
