Find a way to work with rates. The 23rd part in a 29-part series presents work problems for the class to solve given work rates. Pupils compare rates to determine which is faster. Some problems require learners to convert the rates to...

In this word problem worksheet, young scholars read word problems, and set the information into the distance formula. They solve the formula to determine the distance, rate and time. This two-page worksheet contains six problems, with...

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...

Learners explore the concept of the formula for distance. In this formula for distance lesson, students time battery operated cars with constant velocity over 15 meters. Learners use the distance = rate x time formula to determine the...

In this constant velocity worksheet, students use data of position vs. time of a roller-skater to determine speed, acceleration, or deceleration at different points along the path. Students rank graphs according to average velocity and...

Students are introduced to the concept of speed and the difference between average and instantaneous speed. They work as a class to solve a variety of word problems to calculate average speeds without a calculator. The students are then...

Discover an inverse variation pattern. A simple lesson plan design allows learners to explore a nonlinear pattern. Scholars analyze a distance, speed, and time relationship through tables and graphs. Eventually, they write an equation to...

In this speed worksheet, students use dominoes to measure the average speed of rows falling over. Students make a line graph to show the relationship between the length of the domino row and the time. Students answer 8 questions about...

Several times throughout history, groups of soldiers marching in rhythm across a suspension bridge have caused it to collapse. Scholars experiment with pendulums, resonance, and force to determine why this would happen. First, pupils...

In this unit III: 3 worksheet, students describe motion in words and graph drawings. Students calculate the instantaneous velocity and average velocity. Students also graph the displacement of the object in the word problems.

Eighth graders examine the relationship between speed, time and distance.  In this motion lesson students complete a lab activity that allows them to calculate average speed. 

Students solve problems of dilation and velocity. In this geometry instructional activity, students apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems and relate it to time and velocity.

In this differentiable function worksheet, students identify differentiable functions and calculate the derivative of a function. This two-page worksheet contains eight multi-step problems.

Students time battery operated cars over a set track and determine the velocity of each type of car. They use the cars as manipulatives to demonstrate word problems involving velocity.

Learners solve uniform motion problems using formula d = rt.

Fifth graders explore the concept of rates and how to solve them in problems. They solve the problems using multiplication. The majority of the lesson is direct instruction with the students being included in the process.

Lead your class in a fun-filled team activity that encourages collaboration while learning important concepts. Pupils actively participate in a discussion on the experimental design and the role of mirrors. They perform group activities...

Eighth graders examine two different types of tires and the effects of different factors on the amount of force needed to overcome sliding friction such as when the vehicle tries to stop.
