In July 2006, 17 participants from South Coast Region came together to develop Mathematics Units of Work across the six levels in the Years 1-10 Mathematics Syllabus which feature ICT resources.

Level 1-2: Racquel O'Connor, Lyn Morley, Karla Hynes & Richard Mills - http://www.beenleigss.eq.edu.au/weather/weather.htm 'Will It Rain Tomorrow?' Students keep a daily record of the weather and use the data to make predictions.
Level 3-4: Trish Clements, Leigh Ludwig & Mark Buzolic http://www.beenleigss.eq.edu.au/dealornodeal/dealornodeal.htm 'Deal Or No Deal... What Are Your Chances?' In this unit students will explore the Chance and Data Strand through playing and investigating Deal or No Deal.
Level 4: Ben Palmer http://www.beenleigss.eq.edu.au/bikeunit/bikeunit.htm 'The Most "Fully Sick" Bike Build-up' Students investigate variables and also how changing these can manipulate the outcome of an event. Students change parts of bikes, test their performance and record the data from these tests to create the best bike for track conditions in competition.
Level 4: Cheryl Kerr http://beenleigss.eq.edu.au/tortoiseandhare/tortoiseandhare.htm 'Keeping It Fair for the Tortoise and the Hare' Students adopt the role of either the Hare or the Tortoise in a digital board game. They work at a computer, in groups of two (each student adopting the role of either the Tortoise or the Hare) using a variety of digital tools to achieve equal chances for both competitors to win the race.
Level 4-5: Margaret Marshman, Lisa Newton & Anthea Daniels - http://www.beenleigss.eq.edu.au/lifeagameofchance/lifeagameofchance.htm 'Life..... A Game of Chance?' Students will investigate a number of games and events in life which have a chance component. This could include the chance of winning money or the probability of certain causes of death.
Level 5-6: Nick Katra, Sevil Aldas & Ros Christopherson http://www.beenleigss.eq.edu.au/betterdrivers/betterdrivers.htm 'Are Men Better Drivers Than Woman?' In this unit students will analyse the claim that males are better drivers than females using data from Census At School and self generated data to support conclusions.
