Making Your Map

Label the Canadian provinces on your map Use a Chromebook to find the following cities, and label them on your map:
Vancouver Edmonton Calgary Winnipeg Montreal Toronto Quebec

Setting up the Route

On the first notecard, write START AT ________ Write your group names at the top of every card. Then arbitrarily choose a finishing city. Do NOT write the finishing point on any of your cards. Make a path from the starting city to the finishing city, but the path must be broken into 10 different instructions. An example instruction would be 250 km North (1 cm). Each instruction should be written on one of the remaining notecards. No two consecutive instructions can be in the same direction. Use only cardinal directions Dont go outside the boundary of the map

Lab Conclusion

Does the order in which you follow the instructions matter? Why or why not? What is the total length of the path that you took from start to finish? How did you find this length? What do you call the quantity that describes the length of this path? On the map, draw an arrow that goes directly from your start to your finish. What does this arrow represent? Find the length of this arrow (both on your map and in the real world). Explain how you found this length. How can you describe the direction that this arrow points? Describe the path from start to finish on your map using only two instructions.
