Maths

Talk with your family about how far 1 kilometre is.  Ask them each how many steps they think they would take to walk one kilometre. Write down their opinions.

Go for a one kilometre walk. Count how many steps you took.  How close were you to your ESTIMATE? Email me with your estimated and actual results.

Don’t know where 1km would be? Could you drive one km then go back and walk it?
