Students are involved in hands-on activities to determine how course conditions affect bobsled, luge, and downhill ski races.

Learners defend downhill skiing as an Olympic Games event by creating a presentation that graphically proves the economic impact and popularity of this event.

Students investigate the sport of skiing through Internet research in this multi-task activity. They compare and generalize the results of five individuals by using mean, median, and mode.

Students explore mathematical concepts, problem solving, and the ability to program in LOGO to test ideas about speed, acceleration, gravity, and slope when dealing with downhill skiing.

Students design and build a model downhill ski course that proves to be the fastest course at the Finish Line. They apply what they explore angles, slope, speed, and surface conditions to find the fastest course in the US.

In this fractions learning exercise, students complete a chart where they record fractions of minutes interpreted by seconds of how fast athletes were. Students complete 8 spots in the chart and 3 questions.
