Running Tracks

Comments (0)

This Cre8ate maths activity gives the opportunity for accurate measurement, scale drawing and calculations involving pi.

If there is access to a running track, students look at how the track is marked out and distances measured accurately for runners in each of the lanes.

Alternatively, if a track is not available, students can investigate:
• Where could a track be placed in the school grounds?
• What is the smallest area required?
• How can the track lanes be marked accurately?
