The document describes a lesson for 5th grade students where they are given a scenario of being stranded in the jungle in Brazil and must use a map and coordinates to calculate their route to safety. Students fill out a packet with questions about measuring distances and estimating travel times to their destination based on the terrain, but some found the math and map confusing and too difficult. Suggestions are made to emphasize the story aspect, involve the class in mapping the route together, and have students work collaboratively and write about the hypothetical journey.
