What is the Formula Connecting Distance, Speed, and Time?

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...

Small groups work through two guided activities to derive the distance and midpoint formulas for the coordinate plane. The activities begin with concrete examples and move to abstract.

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...

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

Pre-algebra protégés critique a graph depicting Tom's trip to the bus stop. They work together to match descriptive cards to distance-time graph cards and data table cards, all of which are provided for you so you can make copies for...

Speed up your learning of distance, rate, and time problems. Future mathematicians view a video to review how to determine distance, rate, or time, given the other two quantities. They watch as the narrator works through several examples.

Calculate speed, distance, or time using the formula d = st, distance equals speed times time. The Speed Distance Time Calculator can solve for the unknown sdt value given two known values

Test your knowledge of speed, distance, and time formulas.

In this lesson plan on distance-time graphs, students will understand graphing by analyzing distance-time graphs.

You can pick up some valuable pointers and practice how to compute problems involving distance, speed, and time. When you finish working your way through the pages you can take an on-line "Test Bite" and check your understanding.
