This activity is based on a reduced-scale model of the Solar System built on a map of a city students are familiar with. This provides them with an understanding of the great distances between the different bodies of the Solar System and their relative size. Students will investigate the characteristics that are required from these bodies to build a scale model using common objects.

Students will become familiar with the compass rose and North - East - South - West.

Students participate in a Creative Problem Solving Activity to get from Utah to the Atlantic Ocean.

The main aims of this seminar will be to go over the classification of surfaces (Enriques-Castelnuovo for characteristic zero, Bombieri-Mumford for characteristic p), while working out plenty of examples, and treating their geometry and arithmetic as far as possible.

Using the The Tortoise and the Hare fable students will learn basic map skills.
