Practical Maths Video. Twelve maths sequences filmed on a sleeper train. Each display a different aspect of mathematics for pupils to explore, investigate and discuss.
How fast and how far does the train travel, how much food is carried, how many sheets are there, how do the carriages get cleaned, and is that bed really big enough?!
Each sequence poses a question intended to stimulate mathematical discussion rather than to elicit a correct answer to a computation.

Think it will need lots of stopping and rewinding with my Year 11's but some good stuff to use here! Looking forward to it!
A great set of activities based around the journey of the sleeper train from London to Scotland, the video is good quality and the Maths is not forced which is nice to see in something context based. The activities vary in topic from calculating dimensions to calculating speed. The way the clips are set up mean that this needs to be shown in order and so you couldn't break it down and just use a clip relevant to your lesson. Therefore this would need to be used as a standalone lesson perhaps at the start or end of term. This resource is a really great opportunity for the students to get engaged in Maths in context. Thank you for sharing.
