Your half-hour

Plan three activities in 30 minutes, giving each at least five minutes. Make a second plan with different lengths.

Give it a go

Try ideas with the activity tools, draw your thinking, or explain it in words. There may be more than one useful response. This activity does not save or submit your work.

What this explores

Partitioning a duration. Look for a plan that respects both the 30-minute total and each minimum duration. Discuss whether different activity names alone make a different mathematical plan.

A starting nudge

Reserve five minutes for each activity first. How much time is left to share?

Take it further

What if one activity must be twice as long as another?

For teachers

Ask students to compare strategies and explain what makes their response valid. These difficulty bands are provisional, not verified curriculum or year-level alignments.
