Maths in Las Vegas
      11/14/05 12:50 PM

View in Google Earth         View in Google Maps (2101 downloads)

This is an emerging idea - so I would be happy to know what you all think of it.

Looking down upon lots of cities and places, as we all do, I realised there is an awful lot of real maths involved in what we see. Shape, number, data handling, fractions etc.

I have started with Maths in Las Vegas.
This work is probably relevant for Year 5 or 6
The resource includes:
> Identifying 3D Shapes using the 3D buildings layer. (Could be applied to lots of cities)
> Data handling using a webcam to watch and count traffic and pedestrians.
> Counting the number of cars in car parks - looking at these as a fraction of the number of car parking spaces.
> Area of the car park - using the measure tool in GE Pro if appropriate.

The work is labelled A, B, C etc and children could work on an interactive whiteboard as a group or individually at computers.

(Would appreciate any comments)
