Fantasy Races



I was in charge of researching different areas of mathematics and deciding on how we'd split the different races amongst the math topics.
Looking at the AQA spec for GCSE maths it covered 6 areas of maths:
  1. Number
  2. Algebra
  3. Ratio
  4. Geometry
  5. Problem Solving
  6. Statistics and probability.
I then worked with Morgan who had been researching fantasy races to decide which race would seem the most suitable for each area of maths. After discussing with Morgan and the other members of the group we came up with this table, showing which areas would belong to each race.
