Snow may close some schools…. but not ours!!! On with the warm coats and wellies for some maths… Time and Distance graphs in fact.
For the past few months we have been testing Promethean’s prototype of a new Interactive Whiteboard, so it was a good chance to try out some new video analysis lesson ideas for teachers using it.
The software we used is called Tracker and can be found at: http://www.cabrillo.edu/~dbrown/tracker/
You are not limited to handing out speeding to tickets to reckless sledge riders, you can use it to analyse how pendulums swing or balls bounce. ”Non-linear equations were never this much fun when dad was at school” (he says!)
