This idea will develop a knowledge and understanding of geometry
and finance, applying this knowledge in a real life context and
looking at work already started e.g. 'Dalmuir Plots'. Young people
will work in teams (as landscaping companies) with the task of
designing an allotment in or nearby their school and present design
to school staff and peers.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge of geometry and finance gained and
enhanced
• Employability skills enhanced - application of knowledge in a
real situation by working within a design team, planning to a fixed
budget, planning allotment
• Develop employability skills such as communication, planning,
organisation, time management, researching, presenting, analysing,
sourcing, co-operating, contributing, and reporting
• Confidence of working independently from teacher-led lessons
demonstrated by producing finished plan on time and within
budget
• Pupils take responsibility for their learning through making
decisions about design of gardens, material, costing, types of crop
and crop rotation
• Learners have developed enterprising skills identified as 4
capacities of CfE
Relevance to curriculum
• Supports CfE Mathematics
• Relevance of how curriculum topics on living
things/area/perimeter/money are relevant to work and life and how
this subject knowledge is put into practice in a real situation
