This project will enhance pupils' knowledge of tourism and
leisure facilities around the Clyde. Learners apply their maths
skills to produce an itinerary for a day out on the Clydeside for
tourists and city residents alike. Learners working in small groups
(4-5) named after one of Clyde bridges, will present the
information produced in the form of leaflets or an information
booklet (or web page, or leaflet or oral presentation to an
audience).
