Speed distance and time outdoor maths

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.
