_— Alison 'SOD).Claro, Elzabetn,Lean ce nck Solve & Today is the The Big Race! Each player will be placed on a team and will receive a card that describes how you travel in the race. You and your team will compete against Susan and Lauren in the race at the track. This is cross-curricular project and you will have tasks to complete and potential grades in your Math, PE, Humanities, and Science classes. * Your team must work cooperatively to solve the problem. No team member has enough information to solve the puzzle alone. Each member of your team will select runner A, B, C, or D. You may not show your card, but you may communicate the information on the card. * Assume that each runner travels at a constant rate throughout the race. © Susan's and Lauren’s cards can be shared with the entire team. * Pay close attention to all that happens out on the track as each student will have both team and individual responsibilities in each of the classes mentioned above. MathTasks (25 points): As team, do the following: * Draw a graph showing each of the 6 runners’ progress over time. (Do this on your yoga using Geometers Sketchpad and print out). (12 points ~ 2 point for each correct graph) * Write an equation for each of the 6 participants. List your equations on a separate piece of paper and attach to your graph. (12 points ~2 point for each correct equation) =mx+0 (6c, meer) * Figure out who won the race! (1 point) a (0:10) intereee rob igi ° 3Additional Math Questions to be discussed in clas: 1. What was the order that the runners finished the race? runner D, Louren, runner A, ruMNecC, Ponner B, Susorr 2. What was the time it took for each runner to finish the race? D too 9 Seconds sv < BA yeconds A took IG secords c A (4 * runners? 4, After 8 seconds, which racer traveled the shortest distance from the starting line? Who had traveled the farthest distance? Shestess = ronnec © Sothost = PONE @ 5. Use your graph and memory from the actual race to locate a time when one runner passed another runner. 6. If the race were only 20 meters long, does the order of the winners change? How? 7. After 16 seconds, how far had each runner traveled from the starting line?Y=mKHrG Slope Y~interceye The Big Race ~ /Runner A "You run three meters every two | seconds and start at the starting line.
