INTRODUCTION
Our Math Trail Project demonstrates that math exists in our
everyday environment. Our group explored Lincoln High School
and created 3 math word problems that relate to the school
environment. We created and solved math word problems at
the school cafeteria, flagpole, and basketball court.

We created and solved math word problems at
the school cafeteria, flagpole, and basketball court.
SCHOOL RESTROOM
Suppose it takes 15 minutes for 100 students to wash their
hands before lunch at these sinks.
How long would it take if you added three more sinks?
How long would it take for 200 students to wash their hands
at three sinks?

FLAGPOLE
Solution: Make a fraction with the numerator being your height
and the denominator being the length of your shadow. Multiply
by the length of the flagpole’s shadow.

If the center of the free-throw line is 20 feet from the basketball
pole, and the circle is 8 feet across, how far it is from one of ends
of the free-throw line to the
basketball pole?
