Which is Further - Same Units (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on solving problems related to speed, distance, and time. Specifically, it involves determining which of two moving entities travels further when given their speeds and travel durations, while using consistent units (like meters per hour or centimeters per minute). The students are presented with scenarios involving bugs, horses, and bacteria, and they need to calculate distances to figure out which one travels further based on the provided speed and time. This topic serves as an introduction to fundamental concepts in physics and mathematics.
