The mini
Description
This programme contains ten short and stylish sequences, all shot at the BMW Mini assembly plant in Oxford and on the road with the car itself.Each sequence features a different aspect of mathematics for pupils to explore and investigate. The mathematical content is intentionally understated, but the material rewards repeated viewing and provides a rich source of mathematical imagery.Each sequence poses a question intended to stimulate mathematical discussion rather than to elicit a correct answer to a specific computation. The programme is intended to be used in sections, with teachers and students stopping and replaying the video to analyse the information given. It can either be shown to pupils on a whiteboard where the pictures can be annotated, or worked on by pupils individually or in groups on PCs or laptops. The items are best used in programme order as some rely on information given or worked out in a previous clip.
