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