The senior pupils enjoyed some winter sunshine yesterday to take part in some outdoor maths with speed distance and time calculations, with Miss Whorlow.
The lesson objectives were to
* Recognise and apply the relationship between speed, time and distance * Applying links to algebraic formulae * Children to estimate then measure the length of the football pitch in metric units. (Convert between m-km to apply decimals for extension) * Children to run a set distance * Use stop watches to time the duration of the ‘race’ * Use ICT graph and/or table formulation for a league table of result * Apply the D/S/T/ triangle: Speed = Distance ÷ Time
The p5-7 pupils coped admirably with the tricky calculations, and were glad to take advantage of a lovely dry day outside.
