This slideshow contains all you need to teach students about the basics of calculating speed, which is dividing distance traveled by time spent traveling. You can teach as a whole group, use to reenforce with small groups, or give access to students on Google Classroom for reference.

This product aligns directly to 5th Grade NCSCOS Science standard 5.P.1.3, but can be applied to any grade level learning about the topic of speed calculation.

Information includes:

• explanation of distance, time, and speed
• formula to calculate speed using measurements of distance and time
• multiple examples of calculating speed using EOG type questions
• summary slide at end
