Speed - Distance and Time to Speed - Variables (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on calculating speed from given distances and time intervals, reinforcing the formula speed = distance/time. Students solve problems involving various units of measurement such as meters per hour, millimeters per minute, and kilometers per hour. The problems present distances and times with different variables and require the student to manipulate these variables to find the rate of speed in various units.
