Information about the circulatory system. Very kid friendly.

An interactive activity about settling in Ainslie. Key Learning Objectives: Students investigate the stories of individuals and groups of people who moved to Australia. Students describe a range of effects that migration has on people. Students identify strategies migrants use to maintain links with the past. Educational Value: Describes how migrants have adapted to life in Australia and maintained links with their original culture. Illustrates artefacts associated with migrants from a range of countries. Includes graphics contrasting architectural styles and interior decorations between 1838 and 2003. Encourages students to explore, synthesise and interpret information from a range of sources. Illustrates a range of experiences and attitudes using fictional characters. Provides a printable worksheet with key graphics and the student's responses to questions about the migrants' experiences.

Lots of interactive, fun and educational Maths games. Your students will love it!

The new FUSE version Use a dividing tool to make equal shares of hardware items such as nails, bolts or screws. For example, pack 32 bolts into packets of 3. Predict how many packets can be filled and how many items will be left over. Check your prediction. Complete a sentence describing the number operations, including the fraction of a packet remaining. This learning object is one in a series of five objects.

The new FUSE version Use a dividing tool to make equal shares of biscuits and toys in a pet shop. For example, share 34 biscuits equally between 6 puppies. Predict how many items each puppy will get, or how many packets can be filled. Check your prediction. Decide what to do with any leftovers. Complete a sentence describing the number operations. This learning object is one in a series of five objects.

The new FUSE version Use a dividing tool to make equal shares of stationery such as pens, pencils or crayons. Complete a sentence describing a number operation. For example, pack 24 crayons into packets of 5. Predict how many packets are needed and identify how many items are left over. This learning object is one in a series of five objects.

The new FUSE version Use a dividing tool to make equal shares of sweets. Complete a sentence describing a number operation. For example, 17 jellybeans shared equally into 6 jars. Predict how many sweets will go into each container and identify how many sweets are left over. This learning object is one in a series of five objects.

The new FUSE version Use a dividing tool to make equal shares of toys in a pet shop. For example, share 33 toys equally between 7 kittens. Predict how many items each kitten will get, and how many leftovers there will be. Complete a sentence describing the number operations. This learning object is one in a series of five objects.

Help a town planner to design a site plan for a school. Using a 10x10 grid, design areas for four regions (library, car park, lawn and canteen) based on the percentages given. Assign the area for an additional two regions, using percentages of your choice. Use a number line to indicate the equivalent fractions for two regions. This learning object is one in a series of two objects. The series is also packaged as a combined learning object.

Help a girl to throw her ball through a hoop. Build two fractions to make a total of one whole. Complete the denominator of a fraction (at least one fraction may have a fixed numerator). For example, work out how many tenths can be added to three-fifths to total one whole. Look at fraction bars and a number line to compare the two fractions and their total. This learning object is one in a series of seven objects.

Search engine for online teaching resources for teachers in Victorian Government Schools. Make sure you are logged in with your T/O number to ensure you have full search priviledges.

Use visual representations of two fractions to find a common denominator. Write the two fractions as equivalences with the common denominator. Place the fractions on a number line. Find new fractions between the two original fractions.

Explore ways of representing decimals using mathematical notation and visual tools. Match a decimal fraction between 0 and 1 such as 0.7. Adjust units on a range of visual scales and other representations. Work with a random selection of two of these representations: common fraction, number line, counting frame, dial, array and pie chart. Match at least three decimals with each tool. This learning object is one in a series of nine objects.

Help a town planner to design a site plan for a city. Assign regions on a 10x20 grid for different uses such as factories, hospitals or parks. Calculate the percentage and the fraction of the total site used for each region. Use a number line to display fractions and equivalent decimals. This learning object is one in a series of three objects combined as 'Neighbourhood fractions'.
