Promoting waterfront tourism and leisure attractions

This project will enhance pupils’ knowledge of tourism and leisure facilities around the Clyde. Learners apply their maths skills to produce an itinerary for a day out on the Clydeside for tourists and city residents alike. Learners working in small groups (4-5) named after one of Clyde bridges, will present the information produced in the form of leaflets or an information booklet (or web page, or leaflet or oral presentation to an audience).
