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.

  • 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.

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:

  • A map of your final course
  • The starting and ending locations
  • The number of laps needed to walk 5 km
  • Any other information you think would be helpful to the race organizers

The map your teacher gave you didn't include a scale. Create one.
