Related to Traveling
Through the use of real-life story-problem scenarios, students get plenty of practice
with analyzing the information in word problems and applying the correct math operations to solve the problems.
Travel Math includes four pages of colorful, realistic images, photos and information for each “travel scenario.” The corresponding word problems were
designed to develop math proficiency and to help students understand why mastery of essential math skills is so important to success in the real world.
Real-Life Travel Scenarios include: A Family Road Trip, A Train Trip, A Caribbean Cruise, and a Honeymoon to Europe.

Questions
Students are asked to use the four colorful “travel scenario” pages to find the information they need in order to solve the math word problems. When solving a problem, students may need to use the answer from another problem on the same page. Problems progress in difficulty as students work through the questions for each scenario.
The first activity page introduces students to the contents of the scenario pages by asking comprehension questions. Answering these questions will familiarize students with the information they will need to solve the word problems

Skills
A wide range of math skills is covered in this program. Students will solve word problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as well as money, time, measurement, percents, decimals, and fractions. Some of the word problems are simple, one-step problems while others involve multiple steps that require students to really think about the problem.
