You can download the document above for the comprehensive inquiry and context but below is a taster of what it offers.

• Identify several different walking routes in the school and around the school grounds. Mark these on a map. Make an estimate of the order of the length of each route. Walk each walking route and check on the accuracy of your ordering.
• Use unconventional standards to measure the walking distance between places in the school and in the local area, for example, walking time between A and B, number of classrooms between A and B, number of bus stops between A and B, number of cats between A and B, number of pavement cracks between A and B, number of calories burned in getting between A and B etc.
