Trip Planning (Details)

Each episode includes a story with real characters that present a problem that the students must solve. They replay the CD story, or parts of the story, many times to find all of the necessary data to solve the problem. Solving a problem usually takes 4 to 5 class periods and is ideal for small group problem solving. Even students who do not usually perform in math are engaged and participate.
