Investigations:
Telling Someone Where to Go

How did the Exxon Valdez get off course? How do people navigate using compasses and angles? In this unit students explore the mathematics of navigation in the spirit of orienteering, the wilderness sport. Students explore angle, distance, and orientation by using their bodies in relative directional systems, as with the computer language LOGO instead of using the standard directions of magnetic compasses.
