This resource is a scaffolded project tasking students with the process of drawing a blueprint or 3D variant of a basic shape house. They are expected to show their understanding of perimeter and area of common shapes and composite, as well as basic conversions of metric units while designing their dream home! There is avenue for extension involving volume and further use of formula for more complex shapes. It is intended as a booklet with the following included: Detailed instructions for students and teachers -Grids and tables for student responses -A blueprint diagram & student exemplar of a simple house blueprint -A student learning model checklist -An instructional rubric which can be used for teacher assessment and student self assessment

This resource includes an introduction to rates and simplifying, as well as a common conversions worksheet. The task is for students to draw on prior knowledge of metric units and combine them to determine a singular value they can apply to all situations. There is a solutions sheet attached with suggested answers, students may be guided to use a common value for context.

This resource is targetted at young mathematicians reading schedules for the first time and planning for journeys. The task is a walkthrough on planning a plane journey to Italy from Australia, ensuring that they make each flight based on select criteria. There is an inclusion of extension which involves more real life constraints.

An activity that walks students through converting between measures of proportion and using number lines to list fractions or percentages. There are activities that give students the ability to practice their conversion skills and interact with basic skills relating to this core area of mathematics.

This resource outlines a party plan including considerations such as cost, reading forecasts, determining food through fractions and proportions as well as extension involving graphing and calcuating distance covered. It is a tutoring activity that can be implemented as a classroom activity refresher on basic numeracy skills from junior years.

A creative probability task allowing students to implement chance elements into their own board game. Includes a timeline for progress, instructional rubric for self, teacher and peer assessment and clear task guides for teachers and students. Targeted at Year 8 or 9 students, bring along resources such as coloured card, scissors, markers etc to allow them to create their games in groups. Ensure time for presentation and playing of games in class.

A guided short task for problem solving and application questions involving finding measurements of different basic shapes and applying pythagoras’ theorem. Each question has multiple parts and could be easily adapted for higher or lower skills by altering digits or completing the activity as a class/individually. Students require a greater ability to decipher and solve worded problems, the purpose of this document is to provide teachers and students short sharp questions to accompany learning in the areas of study of mathematics.
