To solve each problem, students conduct an experiment supported by a variety of mathematics concepts, which range from counting to graphing. An educator guide and student materials are available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scenario-Based Math Using Air Traffic Control\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW189983296 BCX4\">Using the FlyBy Math materials in NASA\u2019s Smart Skies program, your students learn to predict air traffic conflicts using distance, rate, and time relationships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW189983296 BCX4\">FlyBy Math is a series of five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems, each increasing in complexity, that examines a different distance-rate-time air traffic scenario that an air traffic controller might encounter. Supplemental kinesthetic activities help students physically engage with the Air Traffic Control scenarios presented.\u00a0Problem sets, educator and student sections, and optional assessments are also included.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW189983296 BCX4\">FlyBy Math has two overarching goals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"Paragraph SCXW189983296 BCX4\">To enable students to use mathematical reasoning and scientific inquiry to investigate and solve problems based on real-life scenarios.<\/li>\n<li class=\"Paragraph SCXW189983296 BCX4\">To offer students a variety of problem-solving tools and approaches, ranging from experiments to paper-and-pencil activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW189983296 BCX4\">To accomplish these goals, students will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"Paragraph SCXW189983296 BCX4\">Assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to conduct an experiment that simulates the airplane scenario.<\/li>\n<li class=\"Paragraph SCXW189983296 BCX4\">Assume the role of a NASA engineer and use guided paper-and-pencil activities to determine the number of seconds it takes each plane to travel a given distance along a jet route.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW189983296 BCX4\"><strong>Real-life Applications\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nThe FlyBy Math curriculum materials have been developed by NASA\u2019s Airspace Systems Program to engage students in Grades 5-9 in real-life applications of mathematics and science. The Airspace Systems program develops advanced computer-based systems to help pilots and air traffic controllers operate the nation\u2019s air transportation system with reduced flight delays and improved efficiency and access. \u00a0\u200b<\/p>\n<p><strong>MATH GUIDES AND ASSESSMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Problem Sets (Educator Guides + Student Workbooks) and Assessments<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/air-traffic-control-problem-1\/\">ATC Problem 1<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educator Guide<\/li>\n<li>Student Workbook<\/li>\n<li>Student Assessment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/air-traffic-control-problem-2\/\">ATC Problem 2<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educator Guide<\/li>\n<li>Student Workbook<\/li>\n<li>Student Assessment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/air-traffic-control-problem-3\/\">ATC Problem 3<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educator Guide<\/li>\n<li>Student Workbook<\/li>\n<li>Student Assessment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/air-traffic-control-problem-4\/\">ATC Problem 4<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educator Guide<\/li>\n<li>Student Workbook<\/li>\n<li>Student Assessment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/air-traffic-control-problem-5\/\">ATC Problem 5<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educator Guide<\/li>\n<li>Student Workbook<\/li>\n<li>Student Assessment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Supplemental Educator Materials<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/quick-start-guide-for-fbm-simulator\/\">Quick Start Guide for FBM Simulator<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/teacher-guide-for-fbm-simulator\/\">Teacher Guide for FBM Simulator<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/educator-guide-for-flyby-math\/\">Educator Guide for Flyby Math<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/flyby-math-quick-start-guide\/\">Flyby Math Quick Start Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/flyby-math-role-playing-signs\/\">Flyby Math Role Playing Signs<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Simulator Worksheets (Educator + Student) and Assessments<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/simulator-worksheet-a\/\">Simulator\u2014Worksheet A<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educator Guide<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Worksheet A Student<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/simulator-worksheet-b\/\">Simulator\u2014Worksheet B<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educator Guide<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Educator Assessment B<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Worksheet B Student<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Student Assessment B<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/simulator-worksheet-c\/\">Simulator\u2014Worksheet C<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educator Guide<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Educator Assessment C<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Worksheet C Student<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Student Assessment C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/simulator-worksheet-d\/\">Simulator\u2014Worksheet D<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educator Guide<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Educator Assessment D<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Worksheet D Student<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Student Assessment D<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/simulator-worksheet-e\/\">Simulator\u2014Worksheet E<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educator Guide<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Educator Assessment E<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Worksheet E Student<\/li>\n<li>Simulator\u2014Student Assessment E<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem-content\/smart-skies\/\"><span class=\"ui-provider gr b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">This activity is part of the <\/span>Smart Skies Program<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What’s on the radar screen?
