Students learn how to calculate speed as a compound measure of distance and time.
Later, as learning progresses students begin to manipulate the speed, distance and time formula to calculate any measure using the other two.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
- All students should be able to calculate speed using the S=D/T triangle.
- Most students should be able to calculate speed as a compound measure of distance and time.
- Some students should be able to convert between units of speed using equivalent ratios.
