Talking About Distance, Rate and Time

In this word problem worksheet, algebra learners solve 10 distance problems. Problems include motion in different directions, the same direction, and round trips.  

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...

You literally need to use the resource. Young mathematicians solve geometric problems by using literal equations. They go on to solve distance/rate/time problems by using literal equations — a great progression that helps introduce the...

If only there was a graph to show the distance traveled over a period of time. Given distance-time graphs, pupils read them to determine the answers to questions. Using the distance and time on a straight line, scholars calculate the...

Go the extra mile to learn about distance. Scholars learn to apply the distance, rate, and time formula by watching a short YouTube video. The narrator of the video works through several examples using running contexts.

Speed through a direct variation example. The presented problem uses a distance-rate-time problem as an example of a direct variation problem. Using the slope between two points of time and distance, the video shows learners how to...

This video examines a sample rate problem. The listener needs to compute whether four trains, each going different distances over different amounts of time, are moving at the same constant rate. This problem reinforces one's basic...

This video examines a simple rate problem. The listener must compute whether four trains traveling different distances over different amounts of time are moving at the same constant rate. This problem reinforces one's basic understanding...

Through solving a word problem involving a train, the learner in this video describes how to complete a time vs. distance equation. This would be a useful resource because it provides a step-by-step explanation of the process.

Your algebra learners will pick up some solid algebra problem solving skills and a plan of approach for some typical types of word problems in this scripted activity that shows how to set up and organize each type of problem, create...
