Examine the consequences of varying speed.  An engaging set of five problem sets challenges young mathematicians by targeting a different grade level from K-12. In the initial lesson, scholars make conclusions about the time it takes two hampsters to complete a race. Subsequent tasks require individuals to use varying speed, distance, and time quantities to make decisions about runners, remote control cars, and airplanes.
