Lesson 13Designing a 5K Course

Your teacher will give you a map of the school grounds.

1. On the map, draw in the path you measured earlier with your trundle wheel and label its length.

2. Invent another route for a walking course and draw it on your map. Estimate the length of the course you drew.

3. How many laps around your course must someone complete to walk 5 km?

1. Measure your proposed race course with your trundle wheel at least two times. Decide what distance you will report to the class.

2. Revise your course, if needed.

3. Create a visual display that includes:

   • A map of your final course

   • The starting and ending locations

   • The number of laps needed to walk 5 km

   • Any other information you think would be helpful to the race organizers
