Speed as a Compound Measure

 

Students learn 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.

Compound Measures

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to calculate speed as a measure of distance for one unit of time..
  • Most students should be able to calculate the speed as a compound measure of distance and time.
  • Some students should be able to convert between speed units using equivalent ratios.
