In this math unit, students progress through a series of increasingly complex skills related to the relationship between speed, distance, and time, primarily utilizing consistent units. The unit begins by reinforcing basic multiplicative relationships within fact families before delving into speed-related calculations. Early topics focus on graphical representations and basic formulas to identify the relationships between time, speed, and distance. As students advance, they practice calculating time given speed and distance, speed from distance and time, and distance from speed and time, applying these concepts across various real-world contexts and units of measurement (e.g., kilometers per hour, meters per second). Further complexity is introduced through problems that require comparing speeds, distances, and times to determine faster speeds, longer distances, and shorter times among different scenarios. Towards the unit's end, students engage in variable and unit manipulation within mathematical expressions and formulae, enhancing their ability to interpret and rearrange equations commonly-used in physics and other applied sciences. This comprehensive approach builds a strong foundation in understanding and applying the fundamental principles governing motion and travel.
