A hands-on maths investigation that gets students making, testing, measuring and reasoning.
Students create two different-sized origami frogs and investigate whether the size of the frog affects how far it jumps. They collect and record data, represent their results using a graph, analyse patterns and use evidence to draw a conclusion.
Students will:
conduct a fair test
measure and record jump distances
organise and represent data
analyse results and identify patterns
justify a conclusion using evidence
What's included:
Learning Intention and Success Criteria
investigation overview and instructions
step-by-step origami frog instructions
data collection and recording table
graphing activity
analysis and reasoning questions
extension challenge
4-page printable PDF digital download.
