Map Math

Directions: You have enough gas for a 3,000 mile road trip! Use your
measurement tool to map out your trip on the U.S. map that you have been
provided. You must make 4 stops on your trip. You can start and end anywhere
in the continental US and you can take any route that you would like. Use your
math knowledge to answer the questions below and estimate your answers to
the nearest tens place.
Plan your route:
Starting Point: ________________________________________________
Stop #1: ______________________________________________________
Stop #2: ______________________________________________________
Stop #3: ______________________________________________________
Stop #4 (Destination): _________________________________________
1. About how many miles is your second stop from your starting point?
____________________________________________________
2. About how many miles will you travel between your third stop and your
destination?
____________________________________________________
3. If you decided to end your road trip at the third stop you chose rather than
going all the way to your destination, about how many miles would you have
traveled? (Hint: Your whole trip was originally 3,000 miles.)
