Planning supplies for a voyage on the Golden Hind

Tudor linked maths to work on data handling. Pupils have to plan the supplies for a long sea voyage based on three different ranks of sailor, all of whom are entitled to different rations. Enables data handling on a range of scales with ever increasing quantities. Best to start with one type of sailor and build up to all three and then all men at each rank. Done gradually it makes for an exciting project using lots of data handling skills.
