Activity 2
Plan your own fun run with your group.
Your teacher will give you a race map with some information about the city your race is in.
Your plan must include:
At least 7 stations and no more than 10 stations. Only 2 stations can be at the same location on your course.
Labels that show where each station is on your map and on the number line. If you use symbols, be sure to include a key.
Labels that tell about how far each station is from the starting line. Use fractions when needed.
After you finish your plan, be prepared to share it with others and explain:
why you picked each station
why you placed each station at the spot you placed it
