Introduction
Have you ever dreamed of traveling to a new place? Whether it’s a beach, a city, or a mountain adventure, planning a trip requires more than just excitement—it requires smart math skills.
In this WebQuest, you will become a travel planner. Your challenge is to design a dream trip while staying within a budget. Every decision you make will involve math!
Task
Your goal is to create a travel plan within a fixed budget.
At the end of this activity, you will present:
• A detailed travel budget plan.
• A visual summary (poster, slides, or chart)
Your plan must include:
• Transportation costs
• Accommodation
• Food expenses
• Activities
• Total budget and remaining money
Process
Follow these steps:
Step 1: Choose a Destination.
Pick a place you want to visit (local or international).
Step 2: Set Your Budget.
You are given a total budget of ₱20,000.
Step 3: Research Costs.
Find estimated prices for:
• Transportation (bus, plane, etc.)
• Hotel or lodging
• Food (daily expenses)
• Entrance fees or activities
Step 4: Compute Your Expenses.
