EXAMPLE:

Is It Safe to Ride a Bike to School? Riding your bike is a great way to stay fit and healthy. However, many people think it

is too dangerous to ride your bike to school unsupervised because of the traffic.

Many people believe if you ride to school, that it should be with an adult.

What do you think? Do you agree or disagree?

Perhaps you can think of ideas for both side of this argument.

Maths Lesson:

Investigating Distances

When we use maps, we often need to provide directions to find our way from one position

to another. Directions can be presented by using words such as ‘start at the shopping

centre’.

Directions can also include diagrams and symbols. For example: an arrow could indicate the

direction that we want to travel. → this arrow would probably communicate that direction

is towards the right.

Look at the images below and think about how they could be used to give directions.

These directions could be interpreted as:

• Go 3 km in an easterly direction.

• Stop

• Go 5 km in a northerly direction.

1. Use the scale to estimate the length of the following streets on this map.

a. Boundary Rd____________________________ b. Robertson St____________________________ c. Ewan Rd_______________________________ d. Angus St_______________________________ e. Stein Rd_______________________________ f. Windsor Rd_____________________________

2. Follow these paths. Write an answer to show where you finish on the map.

a. Start at the northern end of Robertson St → south 4 kilometres → west 3

kilometres

b. Start at the Angus St entrance to the shopping centre → south 2 kilometres →

east 3 kilometres

c. Start at the Windsor Rd entrance to the school → north 4 kilometres →

west 8 kilometres → north 2 kilometres

3. Hide something in your house. Choose a different start point and write directions

using arrows and directional language for someone else to follow to be able to

find the hidden object. If they are not able to locate the object fix your directions

so that they can.
