GCSE Maths - The Jet Setters Project

Description

A KS4 maths project which takes place over five lessons, demonstrating to students how to apply their mathematical knowledge to planning a trip abroad.

Aimed predominately at grade C/D borderline students, this project looks at areas such as time zones, currency exchange, weather patterns, demographics and scheduling, and encourages the students to create a holiday package to sell to their fellow students.

Created at William Parker Sports College by maths teacher Jaimie MacDonald, all resources required to deliver this lesson are supplied with this video, including lesson plans, assessment grids, city reference brochures and world maps.
