Derive of the Dead is a Quantum Victoria developed simulation of pathogen spread over time. The fictional pathogen causes humans to turn into zombies. Students will be able to change many variables to form their own zombie mythology within the simulator.

Students work with the simulator to produce a population of deadly Zombies that spread through a Human colony wreaking destruction wherever they go. Students manipulate parameters such as;

Turning Time
Immunity Chance
Attack Delay and
Dodge Chance
in order to create the deadliest Zombie population possible.

Key knowledge and concepts covered include;

Linear graphs and modelling
Bivariate data
Regression analysis
Rates of Change and
Data generation and manipulation.
Teachers will see how ICT, experiential learning and games based learning can be used to provide an environment in which students take on identity, develop agency and engage in inquiry-based learning in Mathematics.

Teachers can choose to take a Revision/Extension activity* back to school with them to continue the learning in their own classrooms.

*Teachers will need to fill in the Quantum Victoria proforma to access this Outreach/Extension activity.
