Statistics: Cork/Kerry Birth Origins of 2011.



In the dynamic page we can see Birth Origins in County Cork, in County Kerry or in both counties. The 6 parameters used are as follows:

Origin...Irish, Poland, Lithuania, UK., Rest of EU and Rest of The World.

The data is further manipulated and produced by the students in a 3-D Pie Chart format which we will upload shortly.

Statistics: Population Change in Knockaclarig 2006-2011.



This map introduces the concepts of % increase and % decrease. We have 2 known variables 2006 Population and 2011 Population. We can therefore find the unknown variable in two formats ...numeric increase/decrease and % increase/decrease. The same system works in calculating Cash Profit/Loss and % Profit/Loss.

This authentic and local source of data illustrates the realism of this far reaching mathematical concept.

Another Dramatic Profile.  Analyse !!!



This dramatic profile presents us many varied features. Let's write a scientific report on our findings.

Three Rivers: Three Different Directions ???


In this situation we focus on three major rivers in our locality...The Feale, The Blackwater and The Maigue.We notice the general directions in which the rivers flow. Each river flows in a different direction. Why so? We use the earlier contour map to understand this arguement and to determine which river flows the fastest.
Can you come up with other questions and arguements?

Flight GOOGLED.



When embedded in GOOGLE  Earth we get an idea of the terrain.

This operation uses the measurement tool to estimate distances i.e. (A to B) situations.


Tour Guide.



Our software has a facility to take us on a simulated tour of the captured routes. Unfortunately this screen grab does not do the facility justice as it is indeed static. However we can share the experience in dynamic mode.
