Maths: Developing data: food miles - Rationale

The lesson explores and uses a range of concepts from the maths curriculum in the context of Citizenship. The food we eat often comes from thousands of miles away and home grown produce may travel too and fro across the UK before it reaches our local shops. The topic therefore provides excellent opportunities to develop and use data, solve numerical problems and use percentages. By developing the data themselves, students will engage more closely and understand the relationships more effectively.
