Year 8 Maths - homework help

I'm going to trial with you lot (Year 8 Maths) using edmodo to inform you of deadlines, get you asking questions, and generally helping each other out.

If you want to take part, ask me for my code and an instruction sheet.

Pirates at the Movies

How real are the pirates in films? What myths are portrayed? Do they use the right weapons? Do they have the right boats? Are their attitudes to treasure and fellow pirates correct?

Here are some suggested films, but you might find a different one! One problem - we have already looked at Pirates of the Caribbean so no using that one!

Cutthroat Island
Hook
Muppet Treasure Island
Magic Island
The Princess Bride
Stardust

Don't fancy a film? Check out Ms W's book version of the task.

Sequence Ringtones

Create yourself an amazing mathematical ringtone on this site. The possibilities are endless and some actually sound good!
