Not Your Average Average

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students discover that if a distance is traveled in two or more segments at different average speeds, you cannot average the average speeds. Instead the total distance traveled must be divided by the total elapsed time. Students practice on their own after going through an example as a class.
