Euro 2016 Bearings and Scale Drawings and Standard Form

This lesson is based on the on-going Euro 2016 football tournament in France. I have made it as a fun resource for my high ability year 8 class but it could be adapted for other groups.

The presentation contains videos about the tournament to keep the children entertained and would hopefully not be too off-putting for those who do not enjoy football.

The first task is related to bearings and scale drawings by using a map of France. All scales and locations of places are approximately correct.

The second task is using the capacities of stadia in the tournament. There is a video on the stadia on the Powerpoint, to be played before the task. It contains questions on Standard Form, Mean and Range, and Percentage change. I wanted to try to challenge my class to use other topics which they have not done in class for a while.

Please tell me if there are any mistakes or suggestions and I will rectify them.

I hope that you and your pupils enjoy the resource, and more importantly, the tournament!
