Jai Singh
This video, from Twig World, explains how the city of Jaipur in India was designed by the mathematician and King Jai Singh II. In order to ‘unravel the mysteries of the Heavens’, he built a series of observatories and the largest sundial in order to make the most accurate sundial in the world.
The video is accompanied by a lesson plan and a worksheet covering measurement and enlargement of shapes by scale factors.
