Myrtle Beach Boardwalk

As another school year draws to an end, students begin to make summer plans. Many of their activities will call on them to apply the math skills that they have learned this year. Set in the real-life scenario of a trip to an amusement park, this activity requires students to apply basic operations and an understanding of inequalities.
