Go bus go

Describe a path between two stop signs on a city map with horizontal and vertical directions to get a bus to a destination.

Putting It All Together

Answer these open ended questions on your own or with others to form deeper math connections.

If a bus drove 1 block up then 1 block right repeatedly on its way from one bus stop to another, would the route be longer?

If bus stop is at and bus stop is at , what is one possible route between the two stops? Is it possible to count how many routes are possible?

What is the shortest path between any 2 bus stops that are not directly horizontal or vertical to each other? Is this the only one in all situations?
