How many steps does one take to walk a mile? The number of steps one walks in a mile would definitely depend on the length of his stride. Shorter people may take shorter strides, and taller people may take longer strides. This activity...

For this speed worksheet, students complete 3 trials where they walk different speeds and record them in a chart. Then students put the speeds into a graph.

Pupils continue to walk a set area until their teacher tells them to stop. As they complete a lap, students are given markers and the markers are used to see how far they walked. In the classroom, the miles are posted by forming a worm.

Students stride the straights and walk the curves on a track in order to improve physical fitness. They work on varied lengths for the strides and walks.

Students use pedometers or digiwalkers to walk as many steps as possible during a class period (in the building hallways). They assess steps walked at the end of the period for prizes and/or goal setting.
