- 7 PrimeTime Math: Cliffbound!
is part of the
Prime Time Math
series.
Two rock climbers get stranded on a cliff, and a rescue team lifts them to safety. This title covers computing time, rate, and distance; operating with fractions; using unit ratios; and using equivalent ratios. Over the course of this activity, students will:  | Collect and discriminate among data from viewing video |  | Use oral and written methods to describe mathematical ideas |  | Read and apply information to mathematical problems |  | Describe and share mathematical results for group problems |  | Value the role of mathematics in high-angle rescues |
In specific terms, students will:  | Perform computations with fractions and ratios |  | Apply rates and proportions to time and distance problems |  | Find equivalent representations of fractions and ratios |  | Use numerical relationships and expressions in quantitative problems | |
