Hotel
Description
Twelve short sequences shot behind the scenes at a London hotel, each with a different aspect of mathematics for pupils to explore, investigate and discuss. How to cook risotto for thirty and make a perfect cocktail, how to run the restaurant and price the menu, how to organise the laundry - and the best way to clean a bedroom.The mathematical content is intentionally understated, although 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 computation. The programme is intended to be used in sections, stopping and replaying the video to analyse the information. It can 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.
