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 throw three coins, and answer questions on frequency, probability, and compare theoretical with observed outcomes.

Students use given shapes to cover grids in tessellating patterns.

Students construct a spinner and use it to investigate predictions of the probability of outcomes. Findings are recorded in a student designed table.

Students identify and continue the number pattern for a stack of cans and complete a graph to demonstrate the relationship between two sets of numbers.

Students interpret a line graph to answer 4 multiple choice questions about a car along a racing track.

Students predict how a cube will travel when flicked in different positions, and conduct an experiment to see what happens in practice.

Students state what things will affect how far a cube will travel when flicked in the middle with a ball-point pen, and conduct an experiment to see what happens in practice.

Students conduct a statistical investigation into the sentence length of different types of books by making and comparing dot plots.

Students complete a table then describe and write a rule to work out the number of matchsticks needed to make alien shape patterns.

Students show a range of times on analogue and digital clocks.

Students calculate the area of two shapes on a grid.

Students complete a table to show all the combinations, and work out the probability, of numbers possible on the top faces of two dice. They then use the table to list combinations that total 8 and 11.

Students view a table of children's votes for their favourite All Black and answer questions interpreting the data.

Students select from the words 'impossible', 'possible', and 'certain' to describe the probability of events happening.

In this practical task, students collect data on the number of people in cars passing the school. They then record this, in a table and use the information to make a prediction.

This practical task requires students to rank a series of animal pictures in order from shortest to tallest.

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 answer questions about a stem-and-leaf graph which shows the ages of people gathered in a house one Christmas.

Students complete a frequency table about South Island populations and construct a composite bar graph with a key.

Students use a number line to show how to solve whole number addition and subtraction problems.

Students use a number line to show how to solve whole number addition and subtraction problems.

The start of spatial matchstick patterns are shown and described in tables. Students complete the tables and show the rules in either words or equations.

Students construct a dot plot of fish seen at an aquarium from a tally chart, and answer questions interpreting the results.

Students draw a scatterplot of a table of data and describe the relationship between the two variables.
