Counting on Gasoline
Counting on Gasoline is an extension of the learning resource, Counting on gasoline. In this resource, students work through a real formula to understand how gasoline is priced in their own community.
The inter-active on-line activities feature a calculator and a spreadsheet. Designed like a “wizard,” the calculator facilitates a basic gasoline pricing calculation and links students directly to the necessary Web-based data. The spreadsheet allows students to manipulate the standard variables to calculate and compare five different gasoline-pricing scenarios.
