Math on Mars
Imagine you're an astronaut on Mars, where the gravity is much weaker than on Earth. You can jump much higher, but you also have to be careful not to float away! If you jump on Mars, you'll stay in the air for much longer before coming back down. Let's see how that affects our math. Learn more!
Wee Ones
If you take 3 small hops on Earth and then 1 giant leap on Mars, how many jumps have you taken altogether? Count on from 3!
Little Kids
On a chart of Mars jumps, 5 kids jumped "high" and 2 kids jumped "very high." How many more kids jumped "high" than "very high"?
Big Kids
If you throw a red Mars rock into the air, is it certain, possible, or impossible that it will eventually come back down to the ground?
The Sky's the Limit
On Mars, the height of your jump (H) is about 2.5 times your jump height on Earth (e). If you can jump 200 centimetres on Mars, what is your jump height on Earth? Solve the equation: 2.5 * e = 200.
