Iditarod Challenge
Iditarod Challenge
Description:
In this version of the legendary race, students get to mush a team of sled dogs 1,049 miles across Alaska from the comfort of their computers. Using the distance formula and data found in the Iditarod Challenge Google Earth file (included in resource), each student will calculate the time it takes for them to reach each of the 22 race checkpoints. A set of Iditarod Fortune cards will personalize triumphs or tragedies along the way as each racer’s speeds increase or decrease. Conversions between time in decimal hours to hours and minutes will be needed, as well as adding on elapsed time.
