Physical Fitness
Testing physical fitness is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. Students are provided with sample data, which they apply to the Gallagher and Brouha Test to calculate the fitness index and determine appropriate grades. The resource is designed to prompt class discussion and mathematical thinking.
This work could be implemented as a cross-curricular exercise with the physical education department. The teachers' notes provide a detailed structure for planning lessons.
