We've been studying big numbers, so we picked our favorite places in the world and played Amazing Race. It was so much fun. Our metric ruler represented 100,000 miles. I know you are thinking, "Metric? Miles?" but it was best so that they could divide the numberline. We have a wonderful base 10 number system that works great with the metric meter stick! Students added, subtracted, and multiplied to figure out the mileage (even with the challenges in the game). Carson was our winner, getting to 237,000+ miles!
