Traffic Jam

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Traffic Jam activity also includes:

How many cars would be involved in a traffic jam 12 miles long? A slightly ambiguous writing prompt gives learners the opportunity to practice making reasonable assumptions to tackle a real-life problem. Few details are given, so they must consider a variety of factors when estimating their answer. Involves simple arithmetic, but is a good opportunity to practice modeling and estimation skills.
