On The Move

You can sharpen your math skills on short trips around town, or on long vacation trips. Here's how:

• While at the gas station, find out how much gas you will need and and the cost per gallon. Knowing those two numbers can help you calculate how much the gas will cost.
• On the highway, read the signs and check the different speed limits. Then calculate how long it will take to reach a destination.
• Watch the speedometer readings and notice how fast or slow the car is going. Estimate distances between cities and check the estimates on a road map.
