Hunger Games Cross-Curricular Lesson(s) - Speed Distance Time Graphs

(4)
Cross-curricular lesson(s) on distance- time graphs with a Hunger games theme. Links together Maths, English, Physics and possibly P.E. (could also link in with archery) Students begin to Interpret and construct distance-time graphs, looking at the stories that could be represented by parts of the graph and what type of movement the graphs could describe. This also includes a practical activity where students move around and graph their movements and opportunities for extended writing in which they describe the story that could be shown by a graph in more detail. This would be great for a break out week / end of term activity. Please let me know if you like this resource, thanks!
