Do Math Better

Students must use what they know about distance, direction vocabulary and reflections to help Alex get his 2 vaccine shots without running into any covid germs. This activity was created for 6th grade students, however you could also encourage students to use rotations and translation vocabulary for older students. Also included is a simple coordinate plane doodle notes page and a blank graph and table for students to create their own coordinate maze.

Students will use a piece of dubble bubble gum to answer the questions: How much paper is wasted in wrapping dubble bubble gum? How much gum is in each piece of dubble bubble gum? I have 2 versions, one that details every step exactly and one that requires a little more thinking on the students' parts. I have also included an answer sheet, although answers will vary greatly with the actual measuring.
