• TLF-IDA004261

In this unit, let’s look at how percentages are used in everyday life to compare changes in things and measure rates of change.

• TLF-IDA004263

In this unit let’s investigate terminating and recurring decimals. We’ll learn how to use the correct mathematical symbols for recurring (repeating) decimals, how to convert fractions into terminating or recurring decimals and how to interpret these numbers on a calculator.

• TLF-IDA004337

Using the example of the humble honey bee, this integrated Science and Mathematics unit illustrates the way in which speciation occurs in nature and explains how living things adapt to survive in their environment. In doing so, the unit describes the nature of simple multiplicative number sequences and how simple algebraic ...

This game challenges students to use their knowledge of place value to add and subtract random numbers in order to meet a target value.

• TLF-IDA004292

This activity challenges students to unpack a rule and see if it is being used correctly. Often students will just learn a rule and blindly use it. This task asks students to stop and think and then make corrections to ensure the rule works in all cases (generalise).

• TLF-IDA004303

This unit of work explores coordinate geometry in the context of Voronoi diagrams. Students use linear coordinate geometry to construct Voronoi diagrams by finding the gradient of a line segment, then finding the midpoint, a perpendicular line and finally the perpendicular bisector.

• TLF-IDA004305

The activity has students collecting their own information from a well-known Australia car buying website and using this to find an estimated relationship between the ‘asking price’ for a used car and the distance it has traveled in kilometres.

• TLF-IDA004319

The focus of this activity is to find out what students know and understand about length. By Year 2 students need to begin to move beyond a familiar definition of length and must begin to see the importance of using uniform units.

• TLF-IDA004326

This collaborative task challenges students to assemble 27 small cubes as one large 3 by 3 by 3 cube, with 9 different colours visible on each face. The task develops spatial awareness, particularly when the task is extended beyond creating a large cube.

• TLF-IDA004264

This unit challenges students to identify and describe everyday examples of ‘direct’ and ‘indirect’ proportion. They learn to recognise direct and inverse proportion from graphs, distinguish between positive and negative gradients and use the equation y = kx to model direct linear proportion.
