Math 113: Classroom Activity 1

Name : _____________________________

10 pts

Materials Needed:

Stopwatch, straps.

Instructions:

Divide into teams of three people.

We will be determining the time it takes to complete a four-legged walk of a pre-

determined distance. Each team of three should stand side by side and strap their

legs together at the ankles. This is similar to a three-legged race except the middle

person will have both legs strapped to another person.

Once the legs are strapped together, walk the length of the course and record the

time it takes to finish. Then rearrange the order of the group and repeat the process

so that each person has a chance to be in the middle once.

You should find two people not in your group to help with this. One of them can

be the timer and one can be the recorder. A note for the timer and recorder – do

not round the times off to the nearest second, given them with the two decimal

places that the stopwatch gives.

Record the first names of the persons in each position and the time in seconds that

it takes to complete the walk.
