In one of the lessons, Mr Matthew proposed to the Year 9
Maths Fast Track class to have an outdoor lesson. The
topic that was being studied was Bearings. Each of the
pupils were paired up and provided with a worksheet.
They spread out across the Jubilee Area with our respec-
tive partners and began working through our tasks. For
this hands on learning activity, we used the map and
scenarios given on the sheet to calculate bearings and
distances using Trigonometry and Pythagoras’ Theo-
rem. It was an engaging and interactive way to learn
how distance, angles and mathematics are involved in
everyday life. The change of environment and out-of-
the-classroom experience helped consolidate our grasp on
the subject matter.

Year 8s Working with coloured laminated cards involving decimals, fractions and percentages. Here
the pupils were tasked to match the equivalent cards, for example 0.125, 12.5 % and 1/8.

Year 10s IGCSE class; The instructions of these hard-working pupils were to join the question with its
corresponding answer. As the coloured cards join together a shape starts to form and eventu-
ally and magically a large hexagon is created involving all the cards.

Year 13s A2 Mathematics, Pure 3; These brilliant Jpgs budding mathematicians are working with
logarithms of different bases and exponentials of varying powers. The coloured cards are
like dominoes with “start” and “finish”, the students had to join question and answer cards
together forming a “dominoes” effect where all the cards are used and the last card must have
the word ‘finish”.
