Middle School Math & Geography: Road Trip, Measurement & Calculations
By Geography & Math Made Easy
**Get your students moving through the United States while learning geography and math skills. **Students will move through the United States as they travel through seven destinations of their choice. This activity integrates math and geography, featuring map reading and measurement using a map scale. It includes calculations for gas costs, driving times, mileage, and more.
This resource encourages students to **problem-solve **while accurately using a map scale to plan a round trip across the United States. As students calculate distances, mileage, driving times, and gas expenses, they will develop higher-order thinking skills with real-life application.
This engaging activity empowers students to take ownership of their learning. Additionally, the instructions offer helpful tips on using yarn to teach how to measure distances on a road map. Students will learn how travel was done before GPS. Although we rely on GPS systems to get us from Point A to Point B, it is still important to know in today's digital age.
While GPS navigation systems and online mapping tools have made it easier to find our way around, having a good grasp of map scales can still come in handy. By using a map scale, students can accurately calculate distances on maps and understand the relationship between the physical size of the area being represented and its distance on the map. This skill can be useful for planning road trips, hiking excursions, or even understanding the layout of a city. Additionally, knowing how to read a map scale can help students develop spatial awareness and improve their overall geographical knowledge. So, while technology may make navigation more convenient, learning how to use a map scale is still a valuable skill that will never go out of style.
This activity incorporates math with geography:
- Measurement
- Gas Cost Calculations
- Driving Time Calculations
- Mileage Calculations &
- Map Reading
This lesson will require each team has a large laminated road map that can be purchased through or donated by your local stores, such as Walmart or Target.
If you have a way to make poster-sized maps, you can google the road maps of America and there are many that can be found.
