Learning Distances

Assignment

Walk to the 150-yard marker on one of the fairways at your facility with your parent. Stand next to it and look toward the hole. It is hard to imagine what 150 yards looks like, isn’t it? Now try to estimate: how many times would you have to walk end-to-end in your bedroom to travel 150 yards? (Your bedroom is probably about 10-15 feet long — there are 3 feet in a yard.) Write your calculation in your math journal.
