We can program a computer to play music. Conventionally this is done by hard coding, which is the process of coding all possible expected behaviours. Alternatively, we can train an artificial intelligence (AI) computer about what notes go well with others, so it can play a duet with a human musician. Students can make their ...

This planning resource for Year 5 is for the topic of Transformation. Students develop their understanding and skills in transformations including reflections (flips), translations (slides) and rotations (turns). Students investigate reflection symmetry.

• TLF-IDA003153

This planning resource for Year 5 is for the topic of Conduct chance experiments. Students conduct repeated chance experiments including those with and without equally likely outcomes. They then observe the outcome of their chance experiments, record data and describe the relative frequencies.

• TLF-IDA003152

This planning resource for Year 5 is for the topic of Interpret and compare data displays. Students interpret line graphs representing change over time. They discuss the relationships that are represented and draw conclusions.

• TLF-IDA003149

This planning resource for Year 5 is for the topic of Shapes and objects. Students describe the properties of 2D shapes and use this knowledge to build objects from their nets and, identify objects from their nets.
