We’re in the thick of marathon season so naturally, that has the consultants at CKingEducation thinking about all the #math that runners must contemplate! What marathon related word problems could you ask your students? Here’s one we came up with: Bilal ran a half-marathon (13.1 miles) at an average speed of 9mph. Carina ran the same half-marathon at an average speed of 7mph. How much longer did it take Bilal to complete the race than Carina? Share your word problem and grade level in the comments below and feel free to solve ours! #mathematics #maths #mathproblems #mathematician #mathconsultancy #mathteacher #mathteachers #mathteachersofinstagram #mathstudent #mathematical #mathskills #mathisfun #education #learning #mathematicians #mathstudents #school #study #mathematic #lovemath #mathlovers #mathiseverywhere #ckingedmath #ckingeducation #consultantservices #mathintherealworld #mathematicalpractices #mathpractices
