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 walking them through the formula, but the format of the questions will still keep scholars on their toes as they are constantly looking for a different variable. These are easy to apply to real life. Ask your class to think of some daily activities that they could calculate using this formula. What is the distance between home and school? How fast do they walk to the playground?
