The Great Alphabetical Geographical Mathematical Cross-Country Challenge
Okay, Here's My Deal...
Today another teacher and I thought we would combine my math class and his social studies class for an activity. We paired these sixth graders up, gave them an atlas and set them off on the "Great Alphabetical Geographical Mathematical Cross-Country Challenge." They were told that they had been hired by a travel agency to plan a trip for a VIP (very important penguin) who wanted to take his family on vacation with two groundrules:
It actually went well. They found only one city that began with X. It is in Ohio. Do you know what it is? I didn't. Do you, my fellow palindrome loving science geek Buckeye friend? Well, I am not telling. Grab an atlas and find out--Happy hunting!!

- they had to visit cities or towns in alphabetical order
- they could not visit a state more than once on the trip
