Detailed description

This worksheet, ‘Getting to the Commonwealth Games’ is a great resource that links mathematics and the Commonwealth Games. Students are led through the process of locating their school of the world map to discussing and brainstorming ways to get to Glasgow from that point. It is an interesting activity that involves the calculation of the time it would take to get to Glasgow using different forms of public transport and opens avenues for discussing the reasons for using different types of transport and places in the world that are more difficult to get to than others.
