Full assessment:

• Questions with subparts to help students reach the aim set
• Authentic context to support meaningful reflection on answers and engage information literacy skills. It is recommended that questions about the background information are addressed as a class to ensure consistent clarity.
• Criteria C and D rubrics for MYP1
• Strand-aligned task-specific clarifications
• Answers in the form of a sample solution and additional marking guidance
• Students will need to answer questions on a separate paper so this can be shared digitally or printed.

In this task, students are guided through an inquiry into different ways to arrange fruit/vegetables, by considering the factors of the quantity. These arrangements result in different amounts of “wastage” due to how the box to carry these arrangements must be cut. Students aim to minimise this.

Students should be able to:

• write integers as a product of their prime factors (e.g. 100 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5)
• use this to find 3-part products (e.g. 100 = 2 x 10 x 5, 100 = 4 x 5 x 5)
• draw and label a number line
• substitute into worded and algebraic formula using order of operations
• recognise prime and composite numbers, multiples, square and cube numbers (and use this language)
• understand that volume takes into account three dimensions
• explain or show thinking clearly
• interpret their solutions in context

It is recommended to give students at least 1 hour for this task. No calculator needed.
