Remember remember the fifth of November There’s going to be a new fireworks display this year. It’s going to be held here. You’re going to design the site and make sure that everything works ok.

There is no access for cars to this area. Pedestrian access is via a very rough, narrow footpath. This is where the fireworks will be launched This football pitch is 100m long This is a school building with a large car park. There are other car parks near-by. The prevailing wind comes from the South West

There are guidelines about where fireworks should be launched from The display site needs to be large enough to cope with the types of fireworks to be used, a change in wind direction or strength, and the expected number of spectators. As a minimum spectators should be kept back on the opposite side to the dropping zone at least 25m from the firing area. The local police have suggested that spectators should be kept at least 25 metres from the bonfire.

Your task is to plan the layout for the firework display. It is proposed that spectators view from the Football pitch labelled A on your sheet. You will produce an accurate scale map of the site for the display which shows The position of the bonfire The area to be fenced off for the crowd (expect between 900 and 1200 people) The position(s) of the hotdog and burger stand The position(s) of the toilets

Up2d8 maths Remember remember the fifth of November Teacher Notes

Up2d8 maths Remember remember the fifth of November Teacher Notes Content objectives: - find simple loci, both by reasoning and by using ICT, to produce shapes and paths - use direct proportion in simple contexts - use proportional reasoning to solve problems, choosing the correct numbers to take as 100%, or as a whole - break down substantial tasks to make them more manageable; represent problems and synthesise information in algebraic, geometrical or graphical form; move from one form to another to gain a different perspective on the problem Process objectives: These will depend on the amount of freedom you allow your class with the activity. It might be worth considering how you’re going to deliver the activity and highlighting the processes that this will allow on the diagram below.

Up2d8 maths Remember remember the fifth of November Teacher Notes Activity: The students’ task is to plan the spectator arrangements for a firework display. The resource explains some of the restrictions and gives a map of a site (you may like to use a resource such as Google maps to personalise this resource to your area).Google maps Working in groups: This activity lends itself to paired or small group work and, by encouraging students to work collaboratively, it is likely that you will allow them access to more of the key processes than if they were to work individually. You will need to think about how your class will work on this task. Will they work in pairs, threes or larger groups. If pupils are not used to working in groups in mathematics you may wish to spend some time talking about their rules and procedures to maximise the effectiveness and engagement of pupils in group work (You may wish to look at the SNS Pedagogy and practice pack Unit 10: groupwork for guidance). You may wish to encourage the groups to delegate different areas of responsibility to specific group members. Differentiation: This resource is designed to be adapted to your requirements. You may decide to change the level of challenge for your group. You could: - remove some of the content (the dimensions of the toilet units are in imperial units so removing this aspect of the activity would remove some conversions) - remove the scale on the diagram of the football pitch will make the activity more challenging - you may decide not to give out the outline image of the football pitch to make the activity more challenging - offer more structure in the activity (maybe by leading the some of the group through how they might use the length of the football pitch to calculate other dimensions) Outcomes: You may want to consider what the outcome of the task will be and share this with students. This could be: - a scale map - a scale map with verbal/written explanation - a health and safety report explaining/justifying decisions - a PowerPoint briefing the staff who will work on the evening of the display Assessment: You may wish to consider how you will assess the task and how you will record your assessment. This could include developing the assessment criteria with your class. You might choose to focus on the content objectives or on the process objectives. You might decide that this activity lends itself to comment only marking or to student self assessment.

Up2d8 maths Remember remember the fifth of November Teacher Notes Probing questions: Students could brainstorm issues to consider. You may wish to introduce some points into the discussion which might include: - How will you make sure that your map is to scale? - Where will you place the toilets? How many will you need? - How will the emergency services gain access to the site should they need to? - Where are the other entrances and exits? How will you make sure that they do not get blocked? - Where will you position your bonfire? Why? - Where will people queue for their burgers? - How many people could you fit on the football pitch? Will they be able to access all of the area or do you need to mark it into sections? - How many stewards will be needed? Where will they be positioned? - What will happen at the end of the display? How will you make sure everyone leaves the site safely? You will need: - The first 4 slides of this PowerPoint display which you might read through with your class to set the scene at the beginning of the activity; - Paper copies of the aerial photograph for each group (and, if you feel it is necessary, the outline image of the site) - Large sheets (at least A3) of paper on which the groups will draw their maps (or you may enlarge the outline image of the site if you feel that constructing the maps is too challenging for your group) - You may wish to give some students the sheets giving details of the toilets and their dimensions - The guidelines are from a larger leaflet which is available from the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reformwhich is available from the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform The third slide gives the restrictions that the students must stick to. Differentiation might involve adding or removing or altering these restrictions. The final slide sets the task. You might wish to differentiate by adding or removing some aspects of the task. The first slide sets the scene and outlines the activity for the students. The second slide shows the area where the display is to be held. You might like to use a resource such as Google maps to replace this image with one of your own area.
