Semaphore
The Centre for Innovation in Teaching Mathematics provide this resource which features the semaphore system of messaging, developed by the Chappe brothers in France in the late 18th century. The activities are designed to prompt discussion and mathematical thinking while students learn to interpret and code...

Tin Can Design
Tin cans come in a variety of shapes and sizes. In this activity students consider the net of a tin can, the formula for the total surface area and the formula for the volume of the can. The first problem requires students to express the total surface area as a function of r by eliminating h. The second problem...
