Road Safety and Mathematics
Curriculum materials have been developed from statistics about Road Safety. These materials are widely available on the web – and some greater detail of local area statistics is also available.
The suggested lessons involving the materials are designed to encourage discussion among the pupils. The resulting discussions and activities aim to promote a greater awareness of the issues and also promote the importance of mathematics in helping society to identify problems and solve them.
Through the use of real data, many KS3 mathematics ideas can be tackled by pupils.
