• TLF-IDM008813

This is a 15-page guide for teachers. This module introduces percentages and their many uses in science, commerce and measurement.

• TLF-IDA004135

This unit of work focuses on percentages. Students represent percentages, including percentages greater than 100%; convert between decimals, fractions, and percentages; write one number as a percentage of another (including where the percentage is greater than 100%) and find a percentage of a number (including using percentages ...

• TLF-IDA003485

In this lesson, students explore standardised measuring systems. They encounter the challenge of a shopkeeper who must determine how to weigh different quantities of spices most efficiently. Working in a financial context, students model this scenario using fractions, percentages and ratios, and communicate their solution ...

• TLF-IDA004134

This unit of work focuses on fractions. Students represent and convert between equivalent forms, such as improper and mixed numeral and equivalent and simplified fractions; compare and order positive and negative fractions; add, subtract, multiply, divide (including writing one number as a fraction of another and finding ...

• TLF-IDA003264

This planning resource for Year 7 is for the topic of Number sequence. Students extend their understanding of equivalence of fraction with visual representations such as a number line that extends beyond zero; concrete materials; and common multiples and fraction walls. Students learn to work with equivalence and explore ...

• TLF-IDM020742

This resource is a web page containing an interactive task to explore ratios and proportions. Compare different mixtures of lemonade and develop a strategy for deciding which is stronger each time. The task requires students to apply their understanding of ratio and proportions. A 'Getting started' page, 'Solution' and ...

• TLF-IDM025126

Using an interactive timeline created by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, this Teacher guide provides 12 series of learning experiences that engage students in the analysis and interpretation of data about Australian trade from 1900 to the present day. Students study videos, tables, images and texts in order ...

• TLF-IDM025818

This sequence of three lessons explores ratios through the context of mixing paint. Students investigate how ratios express a multiplicative relationship between two measures and under what conditions the proportions remain constant when the numerical values of both quantities change. The lessons are outlined in detail ...

• TLF-IDM011455

This digital resource is a video demonstration of a procedural method to calculate an unknown quantity, given an amount is a known percentage of the unknown. For a single example, students are presented with an algorithmic, step-by-step, pen-and-paper method. The demonstration is complemented by the presenter's commentary ...

• TLF-IDM025029

This sequence of seven lessons challenges students to use simple equipment to predict, observe and represent motion. They create a series of graphs to represent motion and construct instruments to measure forces in one and then two dimensions. They interpret these representations to develop concepts of force and motion. ...
