Teacher Introduction

This WebQuest was designed for high school students to show them what is involved in planning a class trip. It allows the students to see the both the detailed planning and expense that goes into planning something like the senior trip. By choosing the airline, hotel accommodations, and theme park packages they will discover that it is not as easy as it may seem and involves mathematical reasoning and calculations. Students will work collaboratively to investigate and compare data to choose the best deal and stay within a budget.
