Car Race Measuring

January 25, 2011

Conduct a race using toy cars with your elementary students. Let a group of 3-5 students start their cars at a starting line, rolling them to see whose can go the farthest, and then measure them to the nearest centimeter or inch. Write down all 3-5 measurements and find the range, median, mean, and mode. It's a fun activity and great way to review those tested indicators!
