Fall back and slow down. The fourth lesson in a six-part series on air traffic control leads the class to find the difference in distance traveled based upon the difference in speed. Pupils work through a problem related to walking...

Return to the classic word problem with these speed scenarios. Learners use some combination of the variables speed, distance, and speed to solve six problems, all of which ask for one of these as an answer. The examples do a nice job of...

In this science worksheet, students create a race track and mark each distance as stated. Then they perform each task and record the time it takes them for each. Students also record their data from the experiment into the chart...

Challenge your fourth graders with these tricky word problems about speed. They use the formula for time, distance, and speed to solve six scenarios. There are three examples, each showing an instance when a different variable must be...

Fifth and sixth graders practice working in pairs to determine whether they can walk with constant speed. They test themselves, collect their data, draw graphs with their data collected, manipulate the data, and then draw conclusions...

In this graphing speed and time worksheet, students answer 7 questions regarding graphing, speed, distance, derivatives, Newton's method and wheel radius.

Really neat! Kids choreograph a dance phrase and then measure the distance and speed of the phrase using a timer and a meter stick. They collect the data on a table which they use to determine an average. A series of observation and...

Get three planes to line up safely. Individuals work through a set of problems to eliminate spacing conflicts between three airplanes in flight. The pupils use their knowledge to change the airplanes' speed or route to meet a...

In this speed and acceleration worksheet, students complete math word problems having to do with speed and acceleration. Students complete 13 problems.

How quickly can your third graders solve these 63 math problems? Ranging from addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, you can use this resource to assess your students' mental math. Cut the activity into thirds to make the...

Put your math whizzes to the test with a speed trial worksheet! Third graders zip through 60 multiplication problems, all including digits from 0 to 10. Who can finish first? Use the whole worksheet or cut each column of 20 problems into...

What do you do to change arrival times of airplanes when a different route is not available? The fifth interactive in a series of six presents problems where pupils must find solutions to conflicts of safety rules. They must decide how...

How fast is your class? Learners determine the amount of time it takes individuals to walk a given distance and calculate their speeds. Pupils solve distance, rate, and time problems using the formula and pay attention to the...

Do speed cameras help reduce accidents? Scholars investigate this question using a series of spreadsheet activities. Along the way, they learn about randomness, probability, and statistical analysis.

Students record each other running, walking, throwing a ball, or doing a similar activity for a set distance. They import the video clips into iMovie. They compute how long it took in miles per hour.

Speed up your pupils' understanding of derivatives. Two cars travel in perpendicular distances to each other. With the aid of the interactive, learners visualize the situation. Pupils use the derivative to calculate the instantaneous...

In this speed and distance worksheet, learners calculate the average speed of various items. They determine the speed of cars, trains, worms, and children running. Students also determine the amount traveled in a given period of time....

In this science learning exercise, middle schoolers solve each of the word problems on speed machines using the formula given and rounding their answers to the nearest tenth. Students also fill in the boxes and use a calculator to...

In this speed, distance and time worksheet, students read statements and then mentally determine the speed, distance or time in a given problem. Answers are provided beside each question. This two-page worksheet contains 30 problems.

In this parametric equations worksheet, students read informational paragraphs and answer 10 questions regarding parameter, velocity, speed, curvature, parametric equations, and scalar curvature.

All the main concepts in motion and force are covered in this presentation.  Each slide is a great summary and will appeal to your students with a clean design and images that should seem relevant.  Definitions of speed,...

NASA presents a mini-unit on distances in our solar system. It incorporates scientific concepts of gravity, mass, density, and payload while your aspiring astronauts also employ mathematics skills. They calculate speed, they determine...

The first two slides set up the conditions for this "experiment on paper".  A fun activity where students chose which of the rockets will fly higher in the situations given. Each slide is followed by an answer page and this...

The learner must use the given constant speed to find the unit rate. A table is made in order to relate the speed to the time and the distance. From the table, learners are able to see the unit rate in miles per minute and miles per...
