Compare your findings with partner. ||  || Use Encarta or the internet to research the weights of as many different animals as you can. Place them on a line from lightest to heaviest. Illustrate the line with scaled pictures of the animals. ||  || Some differences may include; Population, Average temps, Average Rainfall, Celebration/Important Dates, Size of country (area), etc. Record these results in sentences in your Maths Books (Please make your writing your best writing ie.

Each member of the group must record the questions and answers in their maths books; ensure everyone is working together to complete each question. Also, you must draw each line/shape to scale in your book to support your answers (10cm real : 1cm in book). Use one of the class maths dictionaries to check perimeter and area if you need to! ||  || How many times does it play in a minute? How many times does it play in an hour?
