This task is designed to assess how well students understand proportional reasoning and how it relates to graphs.

The task is set in the context of making shelves by using planks of wood supported by three bricks at each end. Students investigate both the materials and costs involved for making different...

Through these resources, students investigate sewage tunnels that are being built under London and consider how society has changed over time, to identify the influences that have resulted in the needs for a new tunnel. Activities challenge students to use their mathematical skills to calculate critical dimensions...
