STORY:
I went to a conference during the school year and my students had talked about how unfair it was that I got to travel to Baltimore. They wanted to know more about my trip so I decided to tell the story with good old math problems. They had a good time decoding these problems and then when they found out that it was all real and accurate, they were even more engaged.
POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS:
Dig even deeper into the realm of truly real-world ratios with this in-depth exploration: Real-World Ratios & Unit Conversions | Math Exploration
MATERIALS/PRE-REQS:
Besides this file, you may require:
✏️ Nothing!
