Activity Case Study 9: Dan Cornelius

This STEMNET Activity case study describes how Transportation Planner Dan Cornelius developed projects for a school to demonstrate maths in the workplace. In his traffic assignment exercise, children investigated traffic flow, identified potential problems and came up with solutions within a budget.

STEM Ambassador Dan said, “The children struggle to realise that maths is not an abstract thing, and so this was a great opportunity to relate the school curriculum to the real world, and help them to see the bigger picture."
