Sorry, the Web form only allows 15 items max. Do books count as a single item or lots of items?

Note: I teach maths to teenagers. This business could form a nice interesting project for them, one that they could actually understand the logic of. I live at least 5 degrees of latitude below Dundee!

Books go in a box. Choose the size of box to accomodate the books. Don't do what everyone does and put all the heavy books in one box and all the bedding in the remaining five.

Even better: here is a box. How many 'average' library books can you fit into it.

Seriously, put a 'functional skills maths ideas' page up there and you'll get tonnes of teachers linking to the page.
