This idea will develop a knowledge and understanding of
timetabling and the mathematical computations required by applying
this knowledge in a real life context. Young people will work in
teams with the task of outlining the feasibility of a new company.
Need to research into costs of boats/number of boats required;
licences; tides, river traffic rules, advertising brochures.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge gained and enhanced e.g. use of timetables,
distance, speed and time, profit and loss
• Enterprising skills improved by developing creativity,
confidence, self awareness, positive attitude; increasing
motivation to learning; taking responsibility and making decisions;
consideration of others through group work and discussion; raising
achievement and fostering ambition
• Developed employability skills: communication, planning,
organisation, time management, researching, co-operating,
contributing,
• Confidence of working independently from teacher-led lessons
demonstrated by research on internet - gathering and analysing
information for potential use
• Learners have developed 4 capacities of CfE
Relevance to curriculum
• Supports CfE Mathematics
• Relevance of how curriculum topic on timetables is relevant to
work and life and how this subject knowledge is put into practice
in a real situation
