If "Why do we have to learn this stuff?" is a question you get from your math students, you might want to check out this site that draws a connection between distance-rate-time problems and real-life applications. With a focus on math skills needed by air traffic controllers, the site presents six interactive problems. To solve them, students must first assume the roles of NASA scientists, pilots, or air-traffic-controllers, then set-up and conduct hands-on experiments. Includes a downloadable student workbook, educator guide, role-playing signs, and videos. Aligned to standards.
