Length/distance

Have a look at the results for some events at past Olympic Games. Can you use these to predict the results at the next Olympics?

Use the interactivity to move Pat. Can you reproduce the graphs and tell their story?

Experiment with the interactivity of "rolling" regular polygons, and explore how the different positions of the dot affects the distance it travels at each stage.

Can you rank these sets of quantities in order, from smallest to largest? Can you provide convincing evidence for your rankings?

These Olympic quantities have been jumbled up! Can you put them back together again?

A circle rolls around the outside edge of a square so that its circumference always touches the edge of the square. Can you describe the locus of the centre of the circle?

My measurements have got all jumbled up! Swap them around and see if you can find a combination where every measurement is valid.

Experiment with the interactivity of "rolling" regular polygons, and explore how the different positions of the dot affects its vertical and horizontal movement at each stage.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to race against Usain Bolt?

Use your skill and knowledge to place various scientific lengths in order of size. Can you judge the length of objects with sizes ranging from 1 Angstrom to 1 million km with no wrong attempts?
