Multiplying Adventures

Write a story that revolves around a character who can only travel by multiplying or dividing distances.

The essence of this writing prompt is creativity and understanding of mathematical concepts. A person has been given a magical ability to move, but can only do so by multiplying or dividing the distance ahead. Questions like – “How do they navigate this challenge?” or “How long would it take to reach a place twice or thrice as far using multiplication or division?” will help conceptualize this math-integrated narrative. This exercise encourages students to utilize their math skills in problem-solving within the context of storytelling.
