The Highway Code

The Highway Code: SMILE card 1314 is a booklet of activities using the signs found in the Highway Code as a context. The booklet begins with a page of road signs. The first task asks students to categorise the signs by placing then into a two way table based upon their shape and their colour. The second activity requires students to list all the possible combinations that could appear on a set of traffic lights. Finding road signs which exhibit line symmetry is the next task, followed by a similar task for rotational symmetry. Finally, tables and graphs are used to explore stopping distances.
