Scale Factors for Areas and Volumes

This unit provides students with the opportunity to discover the effect of a change of length by a given factor on area and volume.

Resource

Round the Track

This unit is about making calculations in the real life situations of athletics.

Around We Go

The measurement of circles and the relationships to be found within them are the focus for this unit. Students investigate a range of circles, each with a different radius, diameter and circumference and assemble this information in their search for relationships.
