This resource includes worksheets with content from stages 1-4. This enables teachers to scaffold learning according to where students are at. It shows the progression of this particular aspect of content through the stages so that extension or remediation may be achieved. Included are 8 worksheets (with solution sheets) and a challenge puzzle. Worksheet 1: translating shapes using the term ‘flip’  (stage 1) Worksheet 2: translating points 1 step using notation P to P’ (stage 4) Worksheet 3: d

This engaging primary and secondary data source activity will get your students up and moving. With this activity, the students will determine whether a data source is primary or secondary. All you have to do is copy these cards on either paper or card stock. Then, hang the cards around the room, in no particular order. The students will move around the room and decide if the source is primary or secondary and record it on their recording sheet. As another option, the cards could be used as a Sc

This set of cards can be used for a variety of purposes simply as Task Cards but they have been including with the following instructions to be used as a Game: Each player gets their own game board & 6 counters (or game pieces). Print out the card sets according to the level of your players or use a combination of sets. Set 1: (32 cards) Picture Transformations Set 2: (32 cards) Dot combinations Set 3: (32 cards) Shapes Set 4: (64 cards) Using the coordinate plane Shuffle the cards and place t

This resource contains 3 activities all related to linking terms from the data topic with their definitions. 1. Cut and paste activity - students match the word with the correct definition then glue them into their workbook. 2. Match the word to an example of what that word means providing a reason for their choice. 3. Exit ticket - quick linking activity to see what students can recall. You probably would not use all three activities in the same lesson, it would be better to use them as revisio

Get your students moving around the room as they make decisions about which sample type is best for each variable. They check for understanding by cracking the code as they go. Activity includes 3 rounds - Which sample best suits the variable? - Which option represents a census? - Which option would produce the most biased result? Student answer sheet + actual answers both provided. Template and instructions are available for your class to create their own version & challenge each other!

Included are 5 worksheets (with solution sheets) of varying levels.   Some shapes will overlap with the translations, others will not. The worksheets are designed for teachers or students to select the most appropriate one for their skills. For other activities specifically targetting Translations (including points & shapes) Stages 1-4 you might like to try: Translation Worksheets (variety of different worksheets)Translation Task CardsAn easier challenge which can be used online including all T

3 Exit tickets using Google forms with 5 questions each, testing context of increasing difficulty of stage 4 translations on a grid and then coordinate plane using P to P' notation.

This product could be used as an Assessment or Class task. Students translate shapes, rotate shapes around points & reflect shapes across lines to form a final puzzle word when all shapes have been correctly transformed. This can be done using the printed version (colour or black & white) or the online interactive Google slide version. The online interactive version encourages students to use the rotate features of Google slides and students can drag shapes into each position - this may make it

This file contains an easier & harder picture jigsaw for students to put together using Google Slides. It is a fun and interactive way to easily Rotate, Translate & Reflect pieces which are then rearranged to complete the picture. This activity meets the NSW outcome of using technology to transform images. For activities specifically targetting Translations (including points & shapes) Stages 1-4 you might like to try: Translation WorksheetsTranslation Task CardsA much harder challenge which can

This template is a tool to assist students in the comprehension and breakdown of worded problems. It can be used as a ‘Do Now’ activity at the beginning of the lesson and submitted to the teacher for checking or it could be printed on A3 or A4 paper/cardboard and laminated for use with whiteboard markers. Teachers put a past NAPLAN/HSC/other wordy question on the board then give students time to think about the question, whilst filling in their Think Board, before modelling how each section sh

These resources are particularly aimed at Stage 4 level but could be used as extension tasks for other stage levels, particularly stage 3. Included are 3 sets of task cards  (with solution sheets) Set 1 (Purple) 32 cards A to h: Translating a point from A to A’.  Both 1 and 2 step translations. Blank Solution Card for word answersBlank Solution Card for vector answersSolutions 1: Answers using words eg 1 right or 3 left, 2 upSolutions 2: Answers using vectors eg (2, 3)Set 2 (Aqua) 32 cards A to

These task cards can be used for either Stage 1 or Life Skills Stages 4-5 teachers. Although the students practice adding up coins it is done using the Working Mathematically strategy of trial and error. Students need to select the combination/s of Australian coins that meet the given criteria. This resource uses Australian coins - 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2.  These are pictured on the cards as a memory aid for students. Students could also be given physical coins as manipulatives to place on

This resources provides links for students to investigate Secondary Data sources. They will discover which variables and data sets are used and/or accessible to the public. Students create posters, from given templates, which categorise variables as Measurable (uses a device to measure it and is recorded in units) or Observable (can list or count it). These posters would be great to have on display around the classroom as examples of variables that are regularly collected & can be used in futur

The following 17 pages include opportunities for students to reduce and enlarge flags from Australia’s Asian Neighbouring countries.  This supports GE3 A diverse and connected world. The flags vary in difficulty for this task which is ideal for differentiation in the classroom. They appear in the document in the same order as they are listed below: North-East then South-East Asian countries.  Country names have been specifically left off the document to encourage students to recall which flag be

This product has been designed on Google Slides but is set on A4 size for ease of printing but also to be displayed on board for demonstration purposes. A PDF copy of the same file is also included for non-Google app users. The FITS acronym stands for: Find out...InformationTry somethingSentance answerand can be used to solve any worded problem. The board also makes use of all the problem-solving skills that are included in the NSW syllabus at Stage 1 level: (DANG) Draw itAct it out/model itNum

Included are 20 worksheets (with an example solution sheet). Bushfire icons were chosen to support the Geography unit on Bushfires but can also be used independently of this as a mathematics task.
