Speed Trap

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.

You could use this fantastic set of elementary multiplication and division worksheets in so many ways. The set is intended to support learners who require remediation or extra support in making the connection between multiplication and...

You'll be spinning in unit circles once you read through this jumbo-sized resource of everything you need to know about trigonometry. Each page has color-coded examples with explicit directions that detail the problems and...

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...

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...

For mathematicians who are soon to learn how to drive, this is an especially beneficial lesson on inverse relationships! Andrew Vander Heuvel explains how increasing the speed of your car does not save much on total drive time. Rather...

The distributive property is a foundational skill taught two ways in this interactive web page. Your young mathematicians can practice their order of operations by solving distributive problems working from inside out. They then move on...

I swear it was an accident. Future motorists watch a video where a police accident investigator explains how he determines car speed from the length of a skid mark and the coefficient of friction. Performing similar computations requires...

With so many combinations, this colorful video allows your learners to mathematically figure out how many options they have when purchasing t-shirts. One instructional activity teaches how to find out the combinations, and the second...

Flip, spin, and shift with this vocabulary-rich video on transformations. Learners watch different movements and see how to move an object without affecting its size. The video follows with a multiple choice assessment that...
