Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to apply math skills while learning about scooters.

Materials and Prep

• Paper
• Pencil
• Calculator (optional)

No prior knowledge needed, just your enthusiasm for scooters!

Activities

• Race Distance Calculation: Measure a distance in your backyard or at a park. Calculate how many scooter lengths it takes to cover the distance.
• Scooter Speed Challenge: Time yourself riding a scooter over a set distance. Calculate your average speed in miles per hour.
• Scooter Design: Draw and label a blueprint of your dream scooter. Calculate the total cost of building it based on the prices of scooter parts.

Talking Points

• Quotation: "Let's imagine you are in a scooter race. How can we use math to figure out how many scooter lengths you need to reach the finish line?"
• Quotation: "When we time how fast you ride your scooter, we can calculate your speed. This helps us know how quick you are going!"
• Quotation: "Designing a scooter involves measurements and costs. How can we use math to plan and budget for building your dream scooter?"
