Our integration was a success! Armed with compasses and trundle wheels, the students were able to navigate a set compass course. Next, each group designed a compass course for another group. The groups exchanged courses and the challenge began. I am pleased to report that the groups did quite well designing interesting courses that everyone successfully navigated! Another added benefit was learning how to measure long distances with a trundle wheel. If you're not careful when measuring 50 meters, it's easy to get carried off course! After a few tries, 5th graders became proficient in measuring long distances accurately.
