A spreadsheet can be used to do calculations quickly using formulas. How can we make a spreadsheet that converts a binary number to a decimal number? This lesson provides some guidance and Excel files for student and teacher use.

• TLF-IDA004142

This unit of work focuses on time and duration. Students define time zones and determine the corresponding time in different time zones in 12- and 24-hour time using GMT and UTC; determine departure and arrival times in both departure and arrival time zones given the travel duration; determine the travel duration given ...

In this lesson, students explore the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) colour model commonly used in digital imaging and display systems. They learn how each colour in the RGB model is represented by 8 bits and understand why there are 256 color intensities for each channel. Students will represent the 8 bits using their mathematical ...

This planning resource for Year 8 is for the topic of Volume and surface area. Students further develop their understanding of volume and capacity of right prisms by developing formulas, taking measurements and investigating, making approximations and solving problems in many contexts.

• TLF-IDA003280

This planning resource for Year 8 is for the topic of Time and duration. Students should be familiar with the concept of time as a measurement that determines how long it takes to get somewhere or how long it takes to complete something. They should also be familiar with the vocabulary seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, ...

• TLF-IDA003290

This planning resource for Year 8 is for the topic of Factors and multiples. Students extend the exponent laws of numerical calculations involving positive integers and zero exponents, and solve a broad range of practical problems, using mental methods, written algorithms, and digital tools.

• TLF-IDA003641

This lesson explores how to predict outcomes of games of chance. Students investigate the concepts of luck, skill and fairness, using dice games. They calculate probabilities for one and two dice rolls and compare the odds for different combinations of dice in a variety of game scenarios. The lesson is outlined in detail ...

• TLF-IDA003660

This lesson explores the difference between perfectly predictable events (like the roll of a die) and less certain events (such as sports). Students investigate mathematically how sports bookmakers create odds to guarantee themselves a profit and pay gamblers less for a win than they deserve. The lesson is outlined in ...
