Prius Problem #2

Let's hope class participants don't get motion sickness. In the lesson, class members first solve motion problems using tables and graphs. They then use algebraic techniques to solve motion problems.

Why do we have to do so much work? Scholars learn how to set up bar models to represent a situation involving work. They use these bar models to help set up equations with rational coefficients to solve the problem situation.

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...

Fall back and slow down. The fourth lesson in a six-part series on air traffic control leads the class to find the difference in distance traveled based upon the difference in speed. Pupils work through a problem related to walking...

By engaging in real life examples, learners practice measurement and conversion skills. They review a chart comparing pints, quarts, and gallons. Then, they complete a worksheet involving prices per unit. For example, they calculate how...

Create number sentences and equations to solve geometric problems. Each activity in the series of five asks young mathematicians to consider different-sized tiles to build structures according to specific criteria. The first activities,...

How do you find an average of something? Watch this video and see how you can add up all your elements then divide by the number of elements you added up. So simple!

Mixtures, weighted percentages, and varying speeds make problem solving difficult. The resource give learners a strategy for tackling these types of problems effectively. 

This video demonstrates how to find the base number when given a percentage and amount. Practice problems are available. [6:17]

In this miles per hour activity, students solve a word problem about how many miles per hour Mathman can travel. Students solve 1 problem.
