How far can you go in a million steps?? Where would you go? Third Graders have been working on answering these questions. They have calculated how far they can go and have also looked at a map to decide where they would go in a million steps.
So... If you could travel anywhere in a million steps, where would YOU go?
You can see pictures of student pages here.
first,we multiplied 1,000,000 times 12in=12,000,000 next we did 12,000,000 divided by 12=1,000,000 then,1,000,000 divided 5280= 189 miles and i wanted to go to Utah near the Colorado river because last time i went there it was wonderful.

In one million steps I could travel approximatley 96 miles. I did my stride,17 inches and multiplied 1,000,000 times 17 eaqualed 17,000,000 inches.Then I did 17,000,000 divided by 12 equaled 1,250,000 feet.I would end up on the edge of Lubock in Texas according to my steps its 96 miles from Denver.

In a million steps I would go to Santa Fe.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I did 17 inchesx1,000,000=17,000,000 inches.
Next I did 17,000,000 inches/12=1,416,666.667 feet.
Next I divided 1,416,666.667 feet/5280=287 miles
I would go to Santa Fe because I have never been there.

Every step I take is 17 in. so if I walked 1000000 steps 17000000 in every mile is 5280 ft. There are 63630 in. in every mile 17000000/63630=286 miles. How I mesured the disdnce is by useing the scale.

Fist I did 20,000,000in./12in. and got 1,666,666.6ft. Then to translate 1,666,666.6ft. to miles I did 1,666,666.6/5,280 and got 315.6 miles. That is how I translated from inches to feet to miles. I would go to Dallas in a million steps because I would like to go fishing in the Trinity River.

I just added zeroes to 22 because I know one times 22 eqeals 22 so I just added 1 to 6 zeroes. Next I did 22,000,000 divided by 22 divided by 12=1,833,333 feet. Then divided 1833333 5280 and got 347 miles I would go to Sheirdan because that is my cousins name. So thats why I would go to Sherdan.

First I did 28 inches x 1,000,000 inches = 28,000,000 inches. Then I did 28,000,000 inches / 12 = 2333333 feet. Next I did 2333333 feet / 5,280 = 441 miles. I would go to Amarillo in Texas because I did 441 / 56 and it equalled 7 and 1/2 inches. I went from Denver to Amarillo. I want to go there because I have never been ther and it might be interesting.

In one million steps I could travel approximately one hundred eighty nine miles. This is how I used extended facts to figure out how far I would travel. First I did twelve times one and it equaled twelve. Then I did twelve times a million and it equaled twelve million. From twelve million inches from twelve million divided by twelve equals one million feet. Then I did one million divided by fifty two eighty and it equaled one hundred eighty nine miles. Where I am going is Laramie, Wyoming. Why I picked Laramie is because it sounds like a nice place.

If I would walk a million steps I would walk 489 miles. I figured out my steps that I take were about 31 inches so I took a calculator and I typed 31,000,000 / 12 and I got 2,583,333. That divided by 5,280 and I got 489. I would want to go to New Mexico because I have never been there and I'm going to Mexico this summer.

In one-million steps I could travel approximenely 189 miles. How I used extended facts to figure out how far I would travel by doing 1,000,000 times 12 = 12,000,000 in. and then I devided 12,000,000 by 12 and that = 1,000,000 ft. After that I did 1,000,000 divided by 5,280 = 189 miles. IF I were to walk a million steps, I would go to Casper in Wyoming because it's 189 miles away and because I would really like to go there.

In one million steps I would traval 479 miles. How I figured that out was I took my stride which is 27 inches x 1,000,000 equals 27,000,000 inches divided by 12 equals 2,250,000 feet divided by 5,280 equals 479 miles. I would go to Wichita Falls because I have never been there, and I love waterfalls.

In one million stepsI could travel approximately 300 miles.Thisis how I used extened facts to figure out how far I would travel.I did 19*1,ooo,ooo=19,ooo,ooo/12=1,583,333/5,280=299 so it's about 300 miles.If I were to walk a million steps,this is where I would go and why I would want to go.I would want to go camping by the Canadian river which is in Teaxas by Amarillo and I would want to go there so I cold go camping.

Every step I take is 17 inches. So if I walked 1,000,000 steps I would travel 17,000,000 inches. There are 63,360 in every mile. 17,000,000/63,360 = 268 miles. I used the scale. 1 inch is 56 miles. I would go to Santa Fe because it is a capital. I am used to live in capitals. I have lived in denver and even in seol!

In one million steps I could travel approximately 394 miles. This is how I used extended facts to figure out how far I would travel: What I did was I did 25,000,000 divided by 12 = 2,083,333. 2,083,333 divided by 5,280 equals 394. 394 was my final answer. If I were to walk 1,000,000 steps, this is where I would go and why: If I were to walk a million steps I would go to Sheridan, Wyoming because my friend said her cousins live there and she said it was beautiful.
