107451 - KS3 Mixed Ability [THIS DOCUMENT]
In class, pupils will be set a challenge wherein they will need to plot the journeys of all Red Funnel ferries within a given time frame on a chart. Subsequently they will interpolate required information from their chart. It is hoped that students will use their own resourcefulness and creativity to solve the problem with as little help as possible from adults.
This is a post-visit maths resource that engages students with their visit to Red Funnel ferries. The resource task enables them to practice reading and recording data, creating graphs and charts as well as creating individual solutions to a problem.
Students are asked to complete a maths challenge using the Red Funnel ferries as their stimulus material.
Before the visit, students could revise how to record and interpolate different sorts of data in various graphs.
Students can be given a copy of the Red Funnel ferry timetable. They should be able to find the times of the ferries used for the visit.
