In her video series on Making Maths fun, Mathematics teacher Holly Millican shares three activities she uses to get students outside of the classroom and applying mathematical concepts to the real world.
Each of the activities can be used for a range of different topics and with students of different ages and abilities. The first activity is called parabola selfie, and it tries to move students away from seeing non-linear relationships as just a random line on a Cartesian plane in their books, into something they can actually see in the real world.
