25 Oct 2024
Sunday 17th November – Wednesday 20th November 2024
A large group of Year 9 and 10 students are attending a Mathematics Study Experience at a residential education programme based at Disneyland Paris, a world-class entertainment and leisure destination. The Resort is part of the massive Disney empire and leads the way in combining technology with live entertainment. The study experience includes one Mathematics seminar, an interactive workshop, and several specialist assignments, including rollercoaster design, and financial planning. Students will be treated as though they are Disney professionals as they are guided and inspired to work as a team throughout. Students will also have one full day to explore the Resort’s two theme parks, Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park, allowing students the opportunity to have fun and experience, first-hand, the application of Mathematics in real-life environments.
The seminars and workshops will cover the following topics;
Maths Essentials – rollercoaster design, creating and interpreting data, standard units of measure.
Investigative Maths – geometry, trigonometry, speed distance time
Theme Park Finance – financial planning, interpretation of graphs and diagrams, economies of scale
