Number and Algebra resources

Students demonstrate their understanding of standard form numbers by ordering given numbers from smallest to largest and by identifying the larger of two numbers.

For this NEMP task students represent the number six in ten different ways using the four arithmetic operations.

Students calculate different fractions of given whole numbers.

Students calculate fractions of whole numbers using number of goals scored in a soccer season.

Students identify fractions that are greater than a half, explain their reasoning, and identify how far from half some fractions are.

Students identify given fractions of sets.

Students identify windows that are covered by curtains for given fractions.

Students select from a range of given numbers to complete a 4 x 4 'number square' with given row and column totals.

Students identify the coins that make up specified amounts of money.

Students solve story problems involving multiplication and division.

Students complete addition and subtraction story problems using the vertical algorithm.

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 perform addition, subtraction and division calculations based on numbers of coloured jelly beans.

Students use matchsticks to continue a triangular spatial pattern and write a rule to describe the number needed for each pattern. They then complete a table and a rule to show the relationship between the number of triangles and the number of matchsticks.

This practical task requires students to order numbers with 2 decimal places from smallest to largest using digit cards. New numbers with 2 decimal places are then created with the digit cards.

Students use sticks to continue given patterns, and identify the number of sticks needed to make the new shapes in the pattern

Students solve a number of mathematical problems involving money and distance, and compare the results to identify the cheapest taxi company.

Students use sticks to continue given patterns, and identify the number of sticks needed to make the new shapes in the pattern.

Students identify odd and even numbers by colouring them different colours.

Students calculate the amount of money saved from given percentage discounts on bikes.

Students perform calculations involving rates of pay, distances, and quantities.

Students answer questions that involve adding, and subtracting several numbers.

Students answer questions involving negative numbers about rising and falling water levels.

In this practical task students put fractions of different items bought at a school fair onto a shopping bag.

For this NEMP task students calculate ratios, fractions, and percentages of numbers to solve problems involving numbers of blue and yellow bears. A sheet of coloured bears is provided.
