Find a perfect way to recognize rates. The class first watches a video that emphasizes the word per when referencing a rate. Pupils then use their knowledge to create their own rates via station activities. Finally, individuals use...

Speed through a direct variation example. The presented problem uses a distance-rate-time problem as an example of a direct variation problem. Using the slope between two points of time and distance, the video shows learners how to...

Things are so expensive these days. A two-part video explains the concept of inflation and its ties to the federal nominal interest rate. Pupils then use data on the historical prices of items to calculate the inflation rates for several...

Get healthy using math (although exercise helps, too!). Future consumers analyze a set of nutritional labels to compare caloric and nutrition information for two cereal brands. After watching a video of a health educator explaining how...

Quick, nurse, grab a calculator! A role-playing activity has groups measure vitals, such as heart rate, blood pressure, weight, etc. After viewing a video on how nurses use math in the workplace, scholars apply knowledge of rates and...

Go the extra mile to learn about distance. Scholars learn to apply the distance, rate, and time formula by watching a short YouTube video. The narrator of the video works through several examples using running contexts.

Superman to the rescue! But, how long will he take to get there? Given the distance that Superman is from Lois at different times, individuals determine the rate (speed) at which Superman is flying. Yet another engaging application of...

At this rate, you'll learn about rates in no time. An instructional YouTube video first shows how to determine unit rates. It then provides and solves two examples of real-world problems involving unit rates and pricing.

At this rate, you'll know all about ratios in no time. Scholars view a short video that discusses advanced concepts regarding ratios and rates. They first determine the speed of a subway from a graph, and then find unit rates given...

Investigate the mathematics of the Olympics. A science video how mathematics is important from the basic level of calculating scores to the more complex math of describing the velocity of motion. Scholars learn to view Olympic...

Use ratios to compare numbers. The resource provides an explanation of the difference between fractions and ratios by pointing out that ratios are used to compare two quantities. The video introduces rates as special ratios that involve...

Explore the use of formulas to problem solve with a video example that uses the distance formula to find a speed and then uses the speed to determine a time. The one example shows the different applications of the formula.

When you have to flow, you have to flow. The instructional activity introduces class members to microfluidic devices and their uses in medicine. They watch a short video on how the diameter affects the rate of flow. The worksheet has...

Clarify complex math concepts with a helpful video. Learners view ways to work with ratios and proportions while discussing vocabulary and notation. After solving proportions, they apply the new strategy to word problems.

You've launched a pumpkin into the air. How can you calculate its average velocity? Viewers learn how to calculate the average velocity of an object from tables and graphs, including a careful derivation of units, in the first...

Join Zoe and Sam as they use proportions to budget money for their Green Earth Club. Watch as they set up and solve a series of proportions using cross multiplication and division. A great resource that brings together prior knowledge of...

The video just before this lesson showed how to do unit analysis and rate conversions. This lesson also shows conversion of unit rates, feet, miles, seconds, hours. So pay attention and learn how to figure out how many feet per second...

If you know two values and are looking for a third, you can set up an equation and solve to find your answer. In this problem you know distance and time, and you are looking for rate of speed. Use the distance formula to set up your...

The formula for uniform motion, meaning something is moving at a constant speed, is d=rt. This involves distance, rate, and time. If the word problem gives two of any of these values, the third unknown value can be found.

The rate of a moving vehicle is calculated in this video. A student does an equation on a whiteboard, as well as displays a real-life example of a moving truck. The video footage of a moving truck is a great way to connect this math...

If you know two values and are looking for a third, you can set up an equation and solve to find your answer. In this problem you know distance and time, and you are looking for rate of speed. Use the distance formula to set up your...
