This lesson promotes the use of decision making, teamwork, maths skills and business sense. There is to be a celebration for the city of Leeds and students have a range of hosts, main acts, venues and sponsors associated with the city to choose from. There are four rounds of secret bidding and students have to try out-bid the other groups to secure the most money for charity. They have to take into account the capacity of the venues, the appeal of the main acts and hosts, and consider which of the proposed sponsors would be most advantageous. More tickets sold will mean more money raised, but there is jeopardy and mistakes could be costly! It’s a fun lesson and students will enjoy taking part. This lesson is created to support students using Leeds as a case study in the Urban Challenges module of the AQA GCSE geography course, but it has wider appeal and would suit other subjects, particularly mathematics.
