Students use diagrams of two boxes with given dimensions to calculate the volume of both boxes and the number of smaller boxes that could fit into one of the boxes.
For this NEMP task students perform a range of practical measuring tasks including calculations involving time and selection of appropriate units of measuring.
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.
