Activity 3 - Students had to think of ways of travelling to the partner schools' countries using the fastest/cheapest/most economical transport and to extend, more specifically, to the cities/towns of our partner schools.
UK to Romania
UK to Catania
and .......we also got a little help from the globe to check our answers!!
Within this activity we looked at many different aspects of Maths and travelling. Some pupils considered weights and sizes of luggage and matched sets and worked with the language of comparison.
Another group looked at travel between the capital cities and how long flights might take.
Another group looked closely at local travel and compared costs of travelling locally by bus, train and car.
