Problem Set A
In this Problem Set A, students will be introduced to the key ideas, vocabulary, units, and graphical representations of air traffic control.
Problem Set A: Student Workbook
An introductory two-minute video, What is LineUp With MathTM?, introduces students to the LineUp With MathTM activities.
The heart of the Problem Set is a six-minute instructional video, Welcome to Sector 33.
Both videos are available on the LineUp With MathTM website and can be projected for whole class viewing. Alternatively, students can access the videos from the ATC Simulator homepage and watch them on an individual computer monitor.
After viewing Welcome to Sector 33, students reinforce their understanding of the key concepts via the Problem Set A Student Workbook that provides a structured learning environment with paper-and-pencil worksheets.
Students will:
• Learn the vocabulary of air traffic control.
• Learn the units (nautical miles and knots) of air traffic control.
• Learn to read and interpret an airspace sector diagram.
• Learn the air traffic control spacing requirements for safety and efficiency.
This activity is part of the Smart Skies: LineUp with Math Lessons
