Kids Math - How Long? How Far?

What you'll need:

Information about how far you're traveling and how long it will take

What to do:

Many times when you are on the go, you are headed somewhere that requires you to be there by a certain time.

1) Ask your children how far they think you have traveled and how much more you have to travel.

2) Talk about how long it takes to get to your destination. If it is 3:15 now, and it takes 45 minutes to get there, ask if you will make it for a 4:15 appointment? How much extra time will there be? Will we be late?

Parent Tip:

This car, bus, or train traveling exercise provides many opportunities for children to use mental math and estimation to calculate time and distance problems.
