Students will use Sphero to explore percentages using speed and color. The speed experiments are quantitative and the color experiments are qualitative. They will program the Sphero to move at 100% speed for a particular amount of time,...

In this activity, students move in a specific way in front of the motion detector to create motion plots that match a given Distance versus Time plot. They make connections between types of movements and characteristics of Distance-Time...

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...

Inquiring minds want to know, how far can you go on a tank of gas? See if you can figure out this math challenge that explores rate, distance, and time. A one page activity from the NCTM Math Challenges for Families series. Application...

This activity is a great way to show distance and time relationships while incorporating charts and graphing. Different sized tins are raced against each other, and data is collected.
