Sample Task 1: Mathematical Investigation

Sums of Consecutive Numbers Many whole numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more positive consecutive whole numbers, some of them in more than one way. For example, the number 5 can be written as

5 = 2 + 3 and that’s the only way it can be written as a sum of consecutive whole numbers. In contrast, the number 15 can be written as the sum of consecutive whole numbers in three different ways:

15 = 7 + 8 15 = 4 + 5 + 6 15 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5

Now look at other numbers and find out all you can about writing them as sums of consecutive whole numbers. Write an account of your investigation. If you find any patterns in your results, be sure to point them out, and try to explain them fully.

Sample Task 2: Grade 8

Design a Tent (Grade 8) (includes an illustration of tent, no measurements) Your task is to design a 2-person tent like the one in the picture. Your design must satisfy these conditions:

• It must be big enough for someone to move around in while kneeling down, and big enough for all their stuff.

• The bottom of the tent will be made from a thick rectangle of plastic. • The sloping sides and the two ends will be made from a single, large sheet of material. • Two vertical tent poles will hold the whole tent up.

Make drawings to show how you will cut the plastic and the material. Make sure you show the measures of all relevant lengths and angles clearly on your drawings, and explain why you have made the choices you have made.
