Divide and Conquer - Survival

Survival on a deserted island

Your plane crashed into the sea and you are washed ashore on a deserted island with a few school friends.  You are the only survivors.

  1. Form groups of 3 or 4 (you don't have to be sitting next to each other).
  2. Choose a lead person who then opens a Google drawing and shares it with the others.
  3. Lead person draws on the first 2 lines of the survival problem tree.
  4. Decide who is going to solve each problem.  Each person then adds a text box under their problem and writes how they could solve it.
You washed ashore with your rucksack containing the following items:
  • a notebook (now soggy!) and a pen
  • a bag of Haribos, Skittles and some biscuits.
  • mobile phone (now dead)
  • packed lunch box and plastic cutlery
  • drinks bottle
  • hoodie (now soggy)
  • first aid kit.
Blog work
  • Share your drawing again to anyone with the link and copy/paste it to a new post titled the same as this one.
  • Under your link, explain how 'divide and conquer' can be used to solve problems quickly and efficiently.
