Have you ever stopped to think about how many math opportunities there are in theme parks?
Here are a few ideas for working in a little math during your day at the park:
- Estimate and calculate your steps from the front gate to your first ride.
- Estimate and calculate your time from the start to the finish of a ride.
- Count the number of (choose an item) you pass during the day.
- Pick up a theme park map and "sort" the items found (restaurants, thrill rides, etc).
- Calculate the total cost of a meal.
- Take the receipt from a meal and divide by the number of guests to calculate the meal cost per person.
- Choose some things you may see a few times during the day (characters, soda cups, strollers, etc), keep a tally, and make a graph at the end of the day.
What others can you come up with?
