Reconciliation Data
Students use statistics as a stepping-off point for a reflection on attitudes towards indigenous people and culture within Australia.
Scrabble Stats
Students collect data about relative letter frequency in English and form an argument for updating Scrabble to reflect 21st century English. They use their findings to break a code.
Spatial Reasoning: Right Angles
Students identify right angles using popsticks then construct and categorise polygons with six internal right angles.
Time: Mission Control to ISS
Students use the context of the International Space Station to construct schedules and logically order events on a timeline.
Algebra: Prisms and Pyramids
Students build their skills in algebra by developing algebraic rules for the number of faces, edges and vertices in prisms and pyramids.
Bar Model Method: In Secondary Mathematics
Students use bar models to visualise relationships and develop strategies in word problems involving fractions, ratio, percentages and algebra.
Mechanical Linkages: Angles and Lines
Students investigate geometry of angles and lines in everyday objects. They use real objects, paper models and dynamic geometry models.
Modelling Motion: Year 7
Students follow Galileo’s experiments and model speed and acceleration graphically. They measure change in motion resulting from unbalanced forces.
Paint with Numbers
Students experiment with mixing paints to explore equality between ratios.
Prime Factorisation
Students learn about the fundamental theorem of arithmetic and explore the many properties of the prime factorisation of a number.
Real Numbers: Sum of Squares
Students investigate a famous hypothesis that every whole number can be written as the sum of no more than four square numbers.
Transformations: Frieze Patterns
Students explore symmetry and transformations in the context of friezes (repeating strip patterns).
What’s In A Name
Students evaluate the names of students in their class and the top 100 names from 1957 and 2017. They devise strategies to use modal data to make 'composite' names for each list.
Algebra: Addition Chain
Students use spreadsheets to investigate arithmetic relationships in addition chains, then use algebra to identify which relationships are generally true.
Algebra: Tens and Units
Students use algebra to explain results in arithmetic by expressing 2- and 3-digit numbers in the general form 10a + b or 100a + 10b + c.
