Which is Faster - Same Units (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on comparing speeds using consistent distance and time units, to determine which of two moving entities (bugs or bacteria) is faster. The learners are presented with scenarios where two creatures move the same distance but in different times, and they need to decide which one is quicker. The practice is introduced at a Level 2 difficulty, indicating basic comprehension of speed concepts within the broader unit of Speed, Distance, and Time. This helps students grasp fundamental ideas about speed, fostering logical reasoning by comparison in everyday measurement contexts.
