What educators are saying

The kids loved this, especially building the RV at the end plus we were able to learn how to use Google Maps to figure out how much it would cost to travel to places.
I used this activity in summer school with incoming seventh graders. It was not only a great review, but a great way to begin talking about seventh grade concepts.

Description

This Plan Your Dream Road Trip is an engaging PBL project for your students to dive into real world Math application while practicing Math, Geography, and problem solving skills. Students will plan their road trip from start to finish in a 9 part process that includes their travel plans, mapping it out, creating an itinerary and calculating expenses, building their model, and practicing 3 6th grade Math standards (rates, area, and volume). This project based learning resource is geared towards engaging 5th-8th grade students.

Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication.
Apply the formulas 𝘝 = 𝘭 Γ— 𝘸 Γ— 𝘩 and 𝘝 = 𝘣 Γ— 𝘩 for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.
Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas 𝘝 = 𝘭 𝘸 𝘩 and 𝘝 = 𝘣 𝘩 to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Understand the concept of a unit rate 𝘒/𝘣 associated with a ratio 𝘒:𝘣 with 𝘣 β‰  0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, β€œThis recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” β€œWe paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.”
