Performance Task (3rd Quarter)

Mathematics 9

Survival in the Wilderness

Note: Refer to the guidelines given to

you.
TASK: Trace the shortest route to the
“SAFE PLACE” from your current
location. The route can comprise as many
segments as you want.
Each cell of the 10 x 10 map is equivalent
to 0.5 km.
It would be best to avoid the cells
showing dangers (like bandits, wild
animals, etc.). Your route must not touch
those places.
The thick blue line at the center of the
map is a river. It is deep, and the current
is turbulent, so swimming across it is out
of the question. So the only way is to
cross any of the bridges.
The shorter route, the better!
