    Note to teacher: Doing this activity once with a class helps students develop strategies. It is only when they do this activity a second time that they will have the opportunity to practise those strategies. That is when the learning is consolidated.

    Teacher, do your students have access to computers?
    Do you have "Laptops in Lessons"?

    Whether your students each have a TabletPC or share a desktop PC, this activity lends itself to eLearning (Engaged Learning).

    Use a computer to construct a line graph showing the number of buses needed for a school trip for any number of students from 1 to 500 given that each bus can hold 32 students.
