4th: 5.3 MJ and SL. Extra Challenge (due tomorrow): Please choose a family car to take on the trip on page (MJ, pg 113), find out the gas mileage (use the car manual or www.edmunds.com), find out the price of gas, and compute the cost of the road trip (round trip). Parents can help with this—as needed. Kids can also use calculators. Super Extra Challenge (due Friday): Kids can plan a road trip of their choosing—possibly one their family could actually go on. They should compute the total cost including: cost of hotels/campgrounds, cost of ofood, cost of tolls, and cost of gas. I will not be picky about how this is calculated. The point is for students to problem solve and combine their math skills to solve a real-life problem. Parent support and guidance is encouraged.
Both of these challenges will help students develop the skill necessary for 5+ math.
