Distance, Speed, and Time Problems

Miss Kirkman presents a lesson on constant speed, covering three main activities. The first activity involves calculating time and distance on a treadmill. The second activity focuses on determining meeting times and distances on a rail trail. The final activity compares the speeds of swimming and biking. Throughout the lesson, students are encouraged to use charts and calculators to solve problems, enhancing their understanding of constant speed and distance calculations.
