Develop a graph to represent the distance between two cars. The assessment task presents a scenario in which two cars are traveling at constant speeds with one faster than the other. Pupils develop graphical representations to show the...

Pupils visualize distance-rate-time problems by using bar models. The lesson presents examples of four different types of rate problems and shows how they can be solved using bar models and equations. Each example is followed...

So many things change as time goes by. Here, scholars create graphs based on this premise. Each problem asks pupils to sketch a graph that describes a given situation. Their graphs represent various characteristics such as height,...

Pupils must graph the location of a train using the time given a timetable. They analyze the different legs of the trip, graph the return trip, and compare the two graphs. The lesson ends with a discussion of similarities and...

What came first, pedestrian one or pedestrian two? Scholars consider a problem scenario in which two people walk at different rates at different times. They must decide who reaches a checkpoint first. Their answers are likely to surprise...

In this speed worksheet, students create time vs. distance graphs to answer questions about average speed, average velocity, and acceleration. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

In this speed instructional activity, students calculate the average speed of an object or the distance an object travels at a certain speed in 11 word problems.

In this distance worksheet, students solve equations involving square roots. They use the distance formula to solve four of the ten problems. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

In this word problem worksheet, students solve twelve word problems discussing average speed or rate.  The solutions are provided.

In this statistics worksheet, students collect data on train time using speed and time. They differentiate between the upper and lower bound of their data. There are 7 questions on 2 pages.

In this distance and rate instructional activity, students determine the length of time it takes to average a given miles per hour.  This one-page instructional activity contains 1 problem.  The answer is provided at the bottom...

In this energy worksheet, learners use a data chart comparing the energy used while running and walking to create a graph and complete 2 short answer questions.

A two-hour final exam covers a range of physics topics related to electricity and magnetism. It employs a variety of methodologies for assessing your physics learners' understanding and mastery of these concepts. You will need to review...

New Horizons set forth on a mission to Pluto in 2006. Ten years later, the spacecraft is still on its way. Here, enthusiastic scholars predict what they will be like—likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc.—when New Horizons arrives at its...

In this time worksheet, students read distance story problems, write equations, and determine the time or rate of travel. This one-page worksheet contains three problems.

For this motion worksheet, students compare two graphs showing a bug's distance traveled over time. Students calculate the average speed of the bugs and determine which bug was traveling at a constant speed. This worksheet has 1 short...

In this motion worksheet, students will write in motion vocabulary words including velocity and speed to complete 7 statements. Then students will calculate average speed and velocity in three short answer questions.

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

Use this resource to present your number crunchers with how to write a constraint equation and to determine viable solutions. The price of an object limits the amount that can be purchased. The speed at which you walk limits the number...

In this angle of movement and speed worksheet, students determine at which angle a car will travel the fastest. They test 12 different angles on a toy car and determine from their data which angle is the best for speed.

In this motion graphs worksheet, students learn about how motion of objects can be described using a graph. Students then answer 10 fill in the blank, 10 short answer, and 5 problems to solve.

In this distance/rate/time problem, students find the amount of time a person could walk a given distance. Students are given the time it takes to walk on a moving walkway (both with and against the flow of traffic).

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...

In this speed worksheet, students calculate the average speed of objects traveling a given distance for a given amount of time. This worksheet has 5 problems to solve.
