ποΈπ When math meets motorsports! π
What a once-in-a-lifetime field trip for our 4th Grade Accelerated Math students! Today, our Marlins had the incredible opportunity to visit Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, and this is a day they wonβt soon forget!
We started with an amazing visit with DXDT Racing, where students actually got to sit inside the teamβs Corvette, tour the team trailer, and ask all kinds of questions! π€©
Next, we made our way through the paddock to AO Racing, where our students got an up-close look at Rexy! π¦ποΈ Needless to say, they were SUPER excited to cheer Rexy on during practice later in the day!
Then it was off to the Fan Zone, where everyone was incredibly welcoming and generous. Our students loaded up on race-day goodies, including lanyards, pencils, T-shirts, and more! β€οΈ
But then came the real work...the MATH! ββοΈπβ±οΈ
At Turn 10, our students put their accelerated math skills into action by:
π Timing laps of their favorite cars
π Tracking distance and speed
π Calculating how many laps a car could complete during a 10-hour race
π Determining the distance traveled over 5, 10, 20, and more laps
π Applying their classroom learning to a real-world racing environment
And that was just some of the math they tackled!
Our students were completely engaged throughout the day. They experienced firsthand how math extends far beyond the classroom and discovered so many different careers and opportunities connected to the world of motorsports.
A HUGE thank you to Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta and IMSA for being incredible hosts and making this unforgettable experience possible for our Marlins! π We are so grateful for everyone who took the time to welcome our students, answer their questions, and help show them just how far their math skills can take them.
This is what learning looks like when the classroom becomes the real world! ποΈπ¨π ...
