The Jetsetters is a resource-rich maths project, created at William Parker Sports College by maths teacher Jamie MacDonald. The project runs over 5 lessons and enables pupils to apply their mathematical knowledge to a very practical problem: planning a trip to a foreign country. Aimed predominately at C/D borderline students, this project looks at areas such as time zones, currency exchange, weather patterns, demographics and scheduling, and encourages the students to create a holiday package to sell to their fellow students. All resources required to run this lesson are attached, including lesson plans, assessment grids, city reference brochures and world maps.
