Lesson Notes
  • Students work independently to solve each problem.
  • After all students have had time to complete the tasks place them in groups to share strategies and solutions.
  • Follow the group activity with independent time for students to reflect on and, where appropriate, modify or change their strategy/solution.
  • Collect and mark student work and provide feedback as appropriate.
  • Extend: Students carry out investigations based on any of their questions raised about breathing rates.
ReflectionsAsk: Did you think of any further investigation questions? Can you think of other health and fitness questions we could ask and investigate? Where do doctors use mathematics to describe our health and fitness?... (WM3.1)
