Grades 5-8 · Sub plan

Price on TPT: $3.99

Can your students plan a road trip with only a map scale? On a made-up state map, they measure roads with the bar scale, then plan a four-stop family trip that has to stay within 210 miles and end back home. Then comes the twist: a rockslide closes a road, and they have to find a new route and decide which place to skip.
