Grouping, functional roles, access to well-designed lessons, learning styles along with student interactions are considerations for management of students. For more information for students with disabilities, contact the Alliance for Technology Access. For additional information, go to the main Teacher's Page for PlaneMath. Additional Activities Have students compare different planes. To find helpful web sites, see below, or do searches for aircraft companies such as Boeing, Cessna, Piper and others.
All teams have the same starting point, destination, and budget, but different airplanes.
Each team has to plan their flight stopovers, fueling needs and overall budget. Students will write up flight logs and create maps to show how they reached the destination. After presenting, the class can compare stopovers, mileage and expenses, and count the number of ways people chose to go. Students will need to justify their decisions. Visit the FAA web site to learn more about flight planning and flight safety.
