Run!

RUN!!

This week we will record lengths and distances using combinations of centimetres, metres and kilometres, eg 1 km 200 m
 * Learning Intention**

Students will
 * Success Criteria**
 * recognise the need for a formal unit longer than the metre for measuring distance
 * recognise that there are 1000 metres in one kilometre, ie 1000 metres = 1 kilometre
 * record distances using the abbreviation for kilometres (km)
 * Estimate and measure lengths over a km.
 * Uses km / m and km as a decimal to show amounts that are not an exact km

This is my best friend Kristin. She has a new found love for running and is tracking her progress with the Nike+ running app.

In November she ran 40.1km

Each time she goes for a run it is a different distance and longer than the one before it.

She never runs an exact kilometre (e.g 2km) it is always a km and m amount.

She runs often, but not every day.

What running history could her Nike+ running app show for November?

(Interested in trying a run? Install the app and we can try estimating a length then checking).

Can you show your distances as km and m? e.g. 2.5km 2500m

Found a soloution that works? Try this...

On the first of March Kristin wants to run in the 'Peak To Park' fun run in Toowoomba. This race is 10km long. She wants to increase her training so that she is able to more easily run the 10km race.

Design a training program for Kristin so that she continues to run a little further each day, but is well prepared for the 10km race in March.
