Slow and Steady Wins the Race

This worksheet offers slower-paced motion problems that help students strengthen their grasp of the speed-distance-time formula in accessible, animal-themed contexts. Learners calculate speeds, distances, and times for creatures like tortoises, rabbits, and cheetahs, using both metric and standard units. The problems encourage precision in computation and logical thinking while fostering an understanding of how speed varies with different scenarios. It’s ideal for reinforcing foundational rate and measurement concepts through comparative examples.
