Activities & Sessions

Possible Outcomes 

Discrimination game

Brainstorm discrimination - definitions & ‘labels’ - pages 30-31

Grouping - ranking labels - page 31

Pictorial version - page 32

Chance and data

  • Data can be gathered from samples and surveys, experiments and simulations, published data and databases, and used to estimate probabilities of events and to respond to claims and questions.

Researching bullying

Bullying survey - pages 33-34

Surveys (template) - page 36

Recorders (record sheets) - pages 37-41

Number

  • Rational numbers (integers, fractions and decimals) can be represented and described in different ways, including using scientific notation and index notation, for a variety of purposes.
  • Rational numbers (integers, fractions and decimals) can be used to describe and solve problems involving rate, ratio, proportion and percentage. 
  • Estimates with upper and lower boundaries can be formed.

Chance and data

  • Data can be gathered from samples and surveys, experiments and simulations, published data and databases, and used to estimate probabilities of events and to respond to claims and questions. 
  • Sample spaces can be specified for single events and straightforward compound events using tables and tree diagrams, and probabilities can be determined using different methods, including counting, measuring and symmetry. 
  • Data interpretation is simplified through the use of suitable representations and descriptive statistics.
  • Simple measures of spread and centre, distribution of responses, and the effect of bias and outliers on the measures of location are used to make inferences.

Number

  • Financial decisions can be made based on the analysis of short- and long-term benefits and consequences of cash, credit and debit transactions.

Measurement

  • Relationships exist between units of equivalent measure and are used to make conversions of units.
  • Lengths and angles that cannot be measured directly can be investigated using scale, similarity or trigonometry. 
  • Judgements can be made about acceptable error of measurement and error can be compounded by repetition and calculation.

Space

  • 3D objects can be constructed from plans, cross-sections, nets, and isometric and perspective diagrams.
  • Maps and plans using scale, coordinates, distance, bearing, angles, keys and annotations can be constructed and used to specify location and represent spatial relationships, as well as distance and orientation between locations.
