25% discount on World Cup maths resource
The events of the FIFA World Cup tournament, held in South Africa from 11 June 2010 until 11 July 2010, are being followed avidly by millions of boys and girls. As the Times Education Supplement recently reported, a number of schools are already capitalising on this opportunity to channel the interest and enthusiasm that the tournament generates into curriculum activities.
One subject which lends itself particularly well to activities based around the World Cup is mathematics. For example, there are opportunities to examine the probability of a team winning, to measure the dimensions of the pitch accurately, and to use goal timings as a starting point for a statistical investigation. Resources such as Pearson Publishing’s The World Cup Kit for KS3 Maths are ideal for engaging reluctant learners and for capitalising on students’ evident enthusiasm in order to promote mathematics in school.
The World Cup Kit for KS3 Maths contains a set of specially-designed mathematics activities and investigations for use during and after the tournament. It is particularly appropriate for engaging Year 9 students during the second half of the summer term - students who are reaching the end of Key Stage 3 and looking towards the start of their GCSE course. This imaginative resource aims to keep students interested towards the end of the school year, whilst providing material that will be of real value in deepening understanding and developing investigative skills in preparation for the rest of their school career.
