Security Camera

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Take an overall view of percentages. Pupils determine whether a shop owner's claim is correct about what percent of his shop is viewable from the installed security camera. Learners try to find whether there is a better location for the camera and communicate why the proposed location is better than the current location.
