How Many Laps Equals A Mile?

This week we asked the question, "How far are we jogging when we do laps around the field?" First I asked the students to find out how many feet in 1 mile? The next day we measured the perimeter of the field. We now know that one lap = 550 feet. We then asked the question how many laps would we have to complete to equal one mile. On our field the answer is 9.6 rounded up to 10 laps. For grades 2-5 we are asking the students to give us the total feet traveled if we complete x amount of laps. Grades 2-3 the students are using addition. Grades 4-5 are using multiplication.
