Sledding

Early Childhood:

Two boys went sledding down a hill.  John went first, traveling 24 feet.  Max went second and travelled 12 feet further than John.  How far did Max travel on his sled? Write an equation to show your thinking!

Upper Elementary:

Create a design for a sled built for speed.  Think carefully about the shape of the sled and its size.  Give the body of the sled a symmetrical shape, and label the dimensions of the sled.  Then explain what makes your sled go fast!

Middle School:

Marcus travelled down a 19 yard sled run in 3.3 minutes.  What was his velocity?  Write an equation with a variable to show how you know.
