"Speedy" Cost Analysis
The project is designed for boys to compare the short and long-term
costs of several different cars with respect to miles driven. The
students will focus only on the initial cost of purchasing the vehicle
and the cost per mile to drive, based on it's reported gas mileage.
The boys will use the Kelly Blue Book
website as a resource
for researching the types of automobiles they will compare, and to
retrieve pertinent information such as vehicle cost and average gas
mileage. They will use the
project guidelines
to fill out the research
worksheet and
complete the project, which will include making three separate graphs
via Mathscribe.
