IM 7.9.13 Lesson: Designing a 5K Course
Your teacher will give you a map of the school grounds. You can also upload an image in the applet below.
[list][*]On the map, draw in the path you measured earlier with your trundle wheel and label its length.[/*][*]Invent another route for a walking course and draw it on your map. Estimate the length of the course you drew.[br][/*][/list]
How many laps around your course must someone complete to walk 5 km?
Measure your proposed race course with your trundle wheel at least two times. Decide what distance you will report to the class. Revise your course, if needed.
Create a visual display that includes:
[list][*]A map of your final course[br][/*][*]The starting and ending locations[br][/*][*]The number of laps needed to walk 5 km[br][/*][*]Any other information you think would be helpful to the race organizers[br][/*][/list]
The map your teacher gave you didn't include a scale. Create one.
