a website such as Newsround.

Maths Welcome to Theme Park Maths, a unique investigation that sees you plan, build and operate a theme park. Your decisions throughout the investigation will be crucial as to whether you make a profit or a loss. Good luck! The Scenario A plot of land has become available and you have decided to build a brand new theme park. You have managed to secure a £500, 000 loan from the bank. During this activity you will have a range of tasks to complete, from building your theme park, to working out how much it costs to run and most importantly working out how much profit you can make. Task 1 Your first task is to plan your park. The piece of square paper at the end of this document will be your park. Each square is 1cm2. You must carefully decide what kind of rides you are going to have. You also need to think about the other facilities visitors will need when they come to your theme park. For example, toilets, cafes, shops and paths will all be available for purchase. Many theme parks have different areas that are ‘themed’. Therefore, you might like to have a water park area, a wild west American area or a Space area. Think carefully about what you would like to include in yours and make your park the best in the Wales!

How to Record Learning

In terms of recording this learning, children can either use the pen and paper method or alternatively use Hwb (Office 365) to record their learning and then share with their class teacher – we’d love to see how you have got on! Share names are: Mr Coles (ColesM30), Miss Probert (ProbertL34), Miss Howes (HowesE13) and Mrs Bebb (BebbK16). The hyperlink below shows the learners how to share your learning with your class teacher. https://drive.google.com/file/d/11yCagbXnuoKcTT2k_XZjboDDLuAmM_wl/view
