SOL 6.12d Walking and Wondering

In this activity, students gather and analyze walking data (distance in feet compared to time in seconds), write equations to represent this distance-time relationship, and compare their own walking rates to others through multiple representations (numerical, graphical, and algebraic). Note: This activity requires that students collect walking data prior to completing the activity. This can be done at the start of the activity, or during the previous day. A stopwatch (or smartphone) and some measuring tapes are sufficient.
