One of the many vehicles on display was a 1903 Oldsmobile. A copy of the original advertisement for that vehicle was also on display. The image that you see above is cropped from a picture that I took of the advertisement and some other associated literature.  What stood out to me about the advertisement was "It Costs 3/8 of a Cent a Mile to travel in the Oldsmobile." Immediately, my mind went to thinking about fun math problems that could be based around the advertisement. Some of the questions that I thought of include the following: How would that cost today after adjusting for inflation? How much would it cost to cover ten miles in that car in 1903? What's the modern equivalent of $650? A research question: What was the top speed of that vehicle?  How long would it take to drive 20 miles in that vehicle at its top speed? Is that faster or slower than covering the same distance on horseback or in a horse-drawn wagon? If you would like a high resolution copy of the picture in this post to use in your classroom, please send me an email and I'll be happy to share it with you.  New course starting July1st! 25 Search Strategies You Need to Know!     • Email to a friend • Try the Pairs Math Game in Your Library or Classroom The Pairs Math Game is a free game developed by Phil Shapiro. Phil is a teacher and librarian who developed the game to be played in many settings including libraries and classrooms. The Pairs Math Game is a game that you print for students to play. To help you do that, Phil provides PDF versions in a few sizes for you to download.  The concept of the Pairs Math Game is to have students pick two numbers from columns in a grid to add up to 100. Phil also provides some suggestions on how to modify the game for younger students. Head to the website to see a video about Pairs Math Game and get the files to print to play the game in your school. And if you like the Pairs Math Game and want a version that is more permanent than printing it on paper, support Phil's work by ordering a large vinyl printing of the Pairs Math Game to hang in your school. Having a large version of it lends itself to making the game one in which students are out of their seats to find number pairs instead of playing the game at their desks.  You may also like Phil's Coin Questions prompts. Watch this video to see and hear him explain it.  New course starting July1st! 25 Search Strategies You Need to Know!     • Email to a friend • More Recent Articles TeachMeet Online - A Free Conference Coming Soon How to Download Google Maps Five Wolfram Alpha Tutorials for Teachers Planning and Preparation Best Practices for Phys Ed These Old Commercials are Grrreat!
