How long is the Australian coastline? See Dr Derek Muller and Simon Pampena discussing the perimeter of the Australian coastline. Find out how the accuracy of that measurement depends on the length of the 'measuring stick' used. They discuss how a coastline is much like a fractal such as 'Koch's Snowflake'!

Students identify transformations, and rotational and line symmetry, in regular and irregular polygons, and use transformations and symmetry to make a tessellating shape.

• TLF-IDA003533

Students use visualising and movement activities to develop an understanding of the relationship between variables.

• TLF-IDA004055

This work sample demonstrates evidence of student learning in relation to aspects of the achievement standards for Year 6 Mathematics. The primary purpose for the work sample is to demonstrate the standard, so the focus is on what is evident in the sample not how it was created. The sample is an authentic representation ...

In this resource students will calculate the perimeter of different shapes, choose the appropriate measuring device, make different shapes from given perimeters

• TLF-IDA003551

Use this diagnostic task to assess what students know about area and using the area formula.

• TLF-IDA003561

This guide supports teachers to develop students’ geometric understandings.

• TLF-IDA004329

The focus of this activity is to discover what it is that students know about 2D shapes and 3D objects.

• TLF-IDA004304

Space Race is a simple board game that teachers can use to introduce the concept of algorithmic sequencing to students. The teaching points provided with the game assist teachers to introduce the use of an algorithm (a simple set of mathematical instructions) to describe the trajectory of an object across a grid plane from ...
