Determine the average on a curve. The class finds graphical representations of averages and expresses them both symbolically and on the graph. The assessment requires class members to justify using average to describe graphs.

Use proportions to determine the travel distance in a given amount of time. The 10th installment in a series of 33 uses tables and descriptions to determine a person's constant speed. Using the constant speed, pupils write a linear...

Which is faster, a Ford or a Ferrari? The short assessment has pupils analyze graphs to determine the rates of change between the two. Individuals interpret the rates of change within the context of speeds of the cars and develop a map...

Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

An informative presentation covers motion, metric system, conversions, graphing of coordinates and lines, speed, velocity, and acceleration problems, as well as mean calculations. This is the first lesson in a 26-part series.

Mixtures, weighted percentages, and varying speeds make problem solving difficult. The resource give learners a strategy for tackling these types of problems effectively. 

Drive home math concepts with an engaging task. Learners follow a verbal description to fill in a table and create a distance-time graph representing a car journey. They then answer questions by interpreting the graph.

Determine just how far to run before dinner. The short assessment asks pupils to determine the distance a person can jog in the time left before dinner. To answer the question, scholars determine the distance if the person jogs one...

My acceleration is downward at 9.8 meters per second squared. That means I'm falling for this physics of motion worksheet. Once motion has been covered in class, give a worksheet that offers multiple choice and short answer...

Find the faster rate. The resource tasks the class to compare proportional relationships represented in different ways. Pupils find the slope of the proportional relationships to determine the constant rates. They then analyze the...

Given diagrams, data, or scenarios, students will calculate average speed using distance and time measurements.

At the 2010 NFL draft, NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen was dared to run the 40-yard dash. The 40-something reporter in a suit was no match for the 22-year-old NFL draft prospects. Eisen's colleagues put together this segement mocking his...

This lesson focuses on how to calculate average speed and distance traveled. It also explains how to convert different units of measure and provides a link to an assessment.

This task it is an exploration of the relationship between speed, distance, and time. An understanding average speed gives an opportunity to address common confusion between average speed and the average of the speeds for the two...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Understand how to evaluate data presented in graphs based on speed and velocity calculations.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How motion and speed can be represented by a distance-time graph and how average speed can be calculated from it.

This lesson focuses on motion including definitions, how to calculate the change in velocity and the average acceleration, and a link to an assessment.
