Primary 4 used mario kart to investigate time and averages. A group timed another group racing a 3 lap race and then calculated the average lap time. This did prove tricky for some, as we had to convert minutes and seconds to seconds first. We recorded the information, and it looked a bit like this:
Driver: Jack
Character: Mario
Kart: Mario standard kart
Track: Toad’s Factory
Total time: 3 min`s 9 sec’s
Time taken for 3 laps: 189 sec’s
Average lap time: 63 seconds
