A problem solving project where pupils use Pythagoras to find how far away the horizon is, depending on your height about sea level.

This is an open-ended project, where rather than being given all the information up front the pupils have to work in groups to explore the problem, then reflect on what techniques were effective.

It practices several useful skills such as Pythagoras, circle geometry, expanding brackets and rearranging formulas.

There is the scope for very good pupils to extend the project in interesting directions.
