Your Student’s Mission
• Your student is planning a day-trip to a local
  amusement park with a maximum of 4 guests.
• The trip must include rented car transportation
  from their house (or a local destination) to the
  amusement park and back home.
• The student will also calculate mileage, fuel
  usage, and the price of the trip as well as
  admittance to the park (and a food allowance).
• If an amusement park is not an option, consider a
  trip to theaters, museums, national parks, etc.

                                             www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
Step One: Calculating Distance
• Students must determine the distance from
  their house to the local amusement park of
  their choice.
• To obtain this data, students may use:
  – Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/)
  – Mapquest (http://www.mapquest.com/)
  – Bing Maps (http://www.bing.com/maps/)
  – Yahoo Maps (http://maps.yahoo.com/)

                 www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
Step Two: Renting a Vehicle
• Students are responsible for “renting a vehicle”
  from a well-known, yet local, rental company.
  They must consider the price of the vehicle for a
  one-day rental, the fuel efficiency of that
  vehicle, and passenger capacity (they can take up
  to 4 guests with them).
• To obtain this data, students may use:
  – CarRentals (www.carrentals.com)
  – Kayak (www.kayak.com/cars)
  – Orbitz (http://www.orbitz.com/car-rental/)

                    www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
Step Three: Analyzing the Rented
        Vehicle for Travel
• Students must analyze the fuel efficiency of the
  vehicle and calculate the amount of gas that will
  be needed to drive from their house, to the
  park, and back.
• The student will need to know the car’s mpg
  (miles per gallon), fuel tank size, and current
  price of gas.
• To obtain this data, students may use:
  – GasBuddy (http://www.gasbuddy.com/)
  – Motor Trend
    (http://www.motortrend.com/new_cars/)

                   www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
Step Four: Planning the Trip
• Students must determine the time of travel from their original
  destination to the park.
• Students must plan for 6 hours at the park (during open hours only).
• Students must create an itinerary of travel from the time they leave
  their house until the time they arrive back.
• Students must also choose a number of guests that are going on the
  trip with them; they must account for $20/person for food when
  calculating costs.
• To obtain this data, students may use the information gathered
  during Step One (Calculating Distance) and the information gathered
  at their amusement park’s home website. Some examples include:
    – Walt Disney World (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/)
    – Carowinds (http://www.carowinds.com)
    – Cedar Point (http://www.cedarpoint.com)




                             www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
Step Five: Putting it ALL TOGETHER!
• The student will organize and present his
  planning, including all web resources.
• The student will present his findings in a
  multimedia presentation
  (PowerPoint, Prezi, YouTube video, etc.)
• Student will be assessed on his understanding
  and application of the math standards (see
  rubric on Slide 10)

                 www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
Teacher Tips
• Model, model, model! Make sure you encourage your
  students to problem solve by demonstration!
• Consider using each step as a checkpoint in this
  assignment. Formatively assess student productivity
  and understanding.
• Allow students to work in small groups on this project-
  based learning assignment.
• Encourage parents to become involved and guide (and
  monitor) students while using the Internet at home.
• Foster independent thinking!

Amusement Park Math WebQuest

  • 1. Elementary Math WebQuest By That Math Lady www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
  • 2. Your Student’s Mission • Your student is planning a day-trip to a local amusement park with a maximum of 4 guests. • The trip must include rented car transportation from their house (or a local destination) to the amusement park and back home. • The student will also calculate mileage, fuel usage, and the price of the trip as well as admittance to the park (and a food allowance). • If an amusement park is not an option, consider a trip to theaters, museums, national parks, etc. www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
  • 3. Math Standards • Time: – CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.1 Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes. – CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.A.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, and money. – CCSS.Math.Content.4.OA.A.3 Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. • Money: – CCSS.Math.Content.2.MD.C.8 Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately. – CCSS.Math.Content.3.OA.A.3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. – CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.A.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, and money. – CCSS.Math.Content.4.OA.A.3 Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. – CCSS.Math.Content.5.NBT.A.4 Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place. • Length: – CCSS.Math.Content.3.OA.A.3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. – CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.A.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, and money. – CCSS.Math.Content.4.OA.A.3 Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
  • 4. Step One: Calculating Distance • Students must determine the distance from their house to the local amusement park of their choice. • To obtain this data, students may use: – Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/) – Mapquest (http://www.mapquest.com/) – Bing Maps (http://www.bing.com/maps/) – Yahoo Maps (http://maps.yahoo.com/) www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
  • 5. Step Two: Renting a Vehicle • Students are responsible for “renting a vehicle” from a well-known, yet local, rental company. They must consider the price of the vehicle for a one-day rental, the fuel efficiency of that vehicle, and passenger capacity (they can take up to 4 guests with them). • To obtain this data, students may use: – CarRentals (www.carrentals.com) – Kayak (www.kayak.com/cars) – Orbitz (http://www.orbitz.com/car-rental/) www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
  • 6. Step Three: Analyzing the Rented Vehicle for Travel • Students must analyze the fuel efficiency of the vehicle and calculate the amount of gas that will be needed to drive from their house, to the park, and back. • The student will need to know the car’s mpg (miles per gallon), fuel tank size, and current price of gas. • To obtain this data, students may use: – GasBuddy (http://www.gasbuddy.com/) – Motor Trend (http://www.motortrend.com/new_cars/) www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
  • 7. Step Four: Planning the Trip • Students must determine the time of travel from their original destination to the park. • Students must plan for 6 hours at the park (during open hours only). • Students must create an itinerary of travel from the time they leave their house until the time they arrive back. • Students must also choose a number of guests that are going on the trip with them; they must account for $20/person for food when calculating costs. • To obtain this data, students may use the information gathered during Step One (Calculating Distance) and the information gathered at their amusement park’s home website. Some examples include: – Walt Disney World (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/) – Carowinds (http://www.carowinds.com) – Cedar Point (http://www.cedarpoint.com) www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
  • 8. Step Five: Putting it ALL TOGETHER! • The student will organize and present his planning, including all web resources. • The student will present his findings in a multimedia presentation (PowerPoint, Prezi, YouTube video, etc.) • Student will be assessed on his understanding and application of the math standards (see rubric on Slide 10) www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
  • 9. Teacher Tips • Model, model, model! Make sure you encourage your students to problem solve by demonstration! • Consider using each step as a checkpoint in this assignment. Formatively assess student productivity and understanding. • Allow students to work in small groups on this project- based learning assignment. • Encourage parents to become involved and guide (and monitor) students while using the Internet at home. • Foster independent thinking! www.thatmathlady.com © 2012
