Phones

Maths:
You have been set the challenge:
Can you design and market the best phone for
year 7 students?
Yes???
Let’s find out……
Once you are in groups you will be given a
budget of £350.00 to create and market your
own mobile phone.
You must stick to your budget, you can not go
over.
You can purchase items for your phone but
they come at a cost:
Item
Cost
Base Unit
£100
Camera
£60
MP3 Player
£25
Bluetooth
£40
Radio
£35
Infrared
£15
WAP
£20
Internet
£50
e-mail Facility
£50
Wi-fi
£55
Other Applications e.g word/excel/games
£25 each
Unfortunately you can’t have everything, your
budget doesn’t allow it.
So you now have to decide what to put on your
phone and what to leave off.
To help do this you will need to
investigate what year 7
students want on their phones
and what they don’t.
You will need to consider many things.
Tariffs, features, how students use
their phone, colour.
Once you have designed your phones, your
classmates will decide which is the best.
Then the best from each class will be
marketed around school and presented in
assembly, either by a presentation or advert,
were the year group will choose the best.
The overall winning group will receive a prize.
Good Luck!
