This cross-curricular, teacher-created story project sends Pre-algebra and Algebra I students across 7 continents on a virtual race that’s so exciting they give up their free time to focus on math! The ‘competition’ requires them to document locations visited, mode(s) of travel, distance traveled in miles and kilometers; budgeting; currency used, accrual and conversions; and more. The Race not only provides extensive practice for problem solving using expressions and equations, but offers innovative opportunities to analyze and understand dependent and independent variables.
