Number

Kangaroo dot- to- dots developing counting by ones, twos, fives etc.

Kangaroo addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Use Kangaroo outlines to colour- by - number using addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.

From the following kangaroo quota data set, plot the population of kangaroos (the quota varies between 15-20%). Explain what the general trend is (note the dip in '96, '96 was due to drought conditions).

Make an estimate of the average annual increase in population over this time and the average percentage increase.

Given that the kangaroo industry turns over $200m/year, that a kangaroo eats the same as 0.67 sheep and there are about 200m sheep in Australia, estimate the total turnover of the kangaroo industry if 30% of Australia's sheep were replaced with kangaroos.

Space

Tangram Kangaroo.

Kangaroo mazes, maps and treasure hunts to develop pathways and coordinates.

Use 3-D shapes to build a Kangaroo. For example, milk cartons, cylinders, toothpaste boxes and cereal boxes.

Use Kangaroo scenes to create jigsaw puzzles. Provide younger children with ready made jigsaws, then encourage them to make their own.

Measurement

Measuring Kangaroo prints with arbitrary units.

Seriate Kangaroo and Wallabies according to size.

Prepare outlines of Kangaroo shapes. Use arbitrary measures to find the area. For example, head or footprints.

Use Kangaroo footprints as an arbitrary measure.
