Description
In this 3-5 day Rational Numbers 7th Grade Project, students will use rational number operations to determine the cost of a road trip to a national park. Students will calculate the percent change in park attendance and gas prices over time to determine if changes in gas prices affect park attendance.
Standards: CCSS (7.NS.3, 7.RP.3) and TEKS (7.3B, 7.4D)
Students are travel blog writers for “On the Road Again”, a blog that highlights road trips across America. Students will write a series of short blog posts about a road trip to a national park using operations with rational numbers to determine the cost of the road trip. Students will calculate the percent change in park attendance and gas prices over time to determine if changes in gas prices affect park attendance.
