Calculating, Converting, and Graphing Measurement Data 

How does this Maths Task Work? Here’s a quick run-down to get you started!

Goal: The aim of this activity is to use puzzles and real-world applications to help students apply their understanding of graphing, converting units of measurement, averaging, and sequencing.

Scenario: We’ve just received a call from Principal Nolan from Rainbow Road School, and they have a real dilemma! They held their highly anticipated sports day today but have unfortunately

lost the final score sheet. This means they don’t know which team won the sports day. They need your help!

Task: Students will use the results from the 3 events provided to determine which team received the most points overall. They will graph the points as they go and create a final graph to demonstrate the winner of the competition.
