Quick Start Guide for FBM Simulator
This Quick Start Guide for FBM Simulator outlines ways to help prepare you to teach the FlyBy Math simulator to your students.
The FlyBy Math simulator is an online visualization tool that offers multiple linked dynamic representations to help students understand distance-rate-time relationships in the real-world context of air traffic control. The side-by-side layout enables students to observe and manipulate three views: the planes on their routes, the corresponding distance vs. time graph, and the equation of each line on the graph. The FlyBy Math simulator is supported by five printed student worksheets with accompanying assessments. Each worksheet and assessment has an answer document with a full set of answers and solutions.
