Around the World in 80 Ways.
| aroundtheworld.pdf |
This infographic shows the speed and length of time 80 different modes of transport would take to navigate the earth. Brilliant if doing a transport topic. Can you put the different modes of transport in order of speed from slowest to fastest?
Perspective of Time.
| perspectiveoftime.pdf |
This timeline goes all the way back to the big bang and is a great visual representation of time.
Highest Grossing Movie Franchises.
| grossingfilms.pdf |
I love this infographic, so much can be done with it. The PDF has the full graphic which is quite a bit bigger than the one above.
You could work out how much each film in each franchise earned on average.
Which of the franchise was the most successful? which of the franchise was the least successful? e.g. Jurassic Park 1 earned the most, Jurassic Park 3 was the least successful.
Looking at the graphic, can you work our roughly how much each film in the franchise earned?
Can you convert the earning from dollars to pounds (or any other currency)
Jurassic World has now earned 1.24 billion dollars. How would that change this infographic? Where would the Jurassic Park franchise now be?

Thanks to @WatsEd for bringing this infographic to my attention:
Great for looking at large numbers and higher level calculation.
You could multiply each number and look at how many of each:
Happy in 1 second, 30 seconds, 10 minutes, an hour, 12 hours, a day, a week, a year, a decade
With the Youtube uploads you could put this into the context of days - if 2 days worth of video is uploaded in one minute, how many days worth would be uploaded in 5/10/15 minutes etc.
Thanks to 'Stacey Marie' for pointing me in the direction of the infographics below.
Again these are great for big number problems suing the questions above.

The Batmobile Timeline.
Not that much significance with maths, but a very cool infographic, and the pdf below has some good Batmobile facts which could be used in maths.

This is a great infographic linked to superheroes. How strong is Superman? How far could Batman glide and how many calories does Storm need to produce his energy.
Could be good to look at this then think about other superheroes and what they would need to produce their super powers.
