Vacation!
The Martin family live in the US and are going to visit many different countries on their
vacation.
From their home in New York they travel
to Toronto (Canada), London (England), Rome (Italy), New
Delhi (India), Tokyo (Japan) and Sydney (Australia), before returning home across the
Pacific.
Paste a world map and show the route of Mr. Martin’s family on the map.
Mr. Martin uses his credit card to change money from USD ($US) to the local currency in
each of the locations they visit. Because currencies change all the time, the amount of
money Mr. Martin receives in each local currency will change from day to day.
Find today's current exchange rates. Use the internet to find them and fill them in:
You will often see them quoted like "AUD/USD 0.67" meaning that 1 Australian Dollar will get
you 0.67 USD
