- Calculated the distance traveled while surfing using the Pythagorean theorem
- Measured the height of waves using trigonometry
- Estimated the speed of the waves using basic algebra
- Calculated the time spent surfing using a stopwatch and basic arithmetic
Continued development related to this activity could include:
- Using real-life scenarios to practice math concepts, such as calculating the distance traveled while driving or the time spent cooking a meal
- Exploring the physics of surfing and how math is used to understand wave patterns and ocean currents
- Participating in math competitions or challenges to further develop problem-solving skills
