Instructional Ideas

• Use the resource to introduce motion problems involving distance, rate, and time

Classroom Considerations

• Note that the resource uses California landmarks (such as the I-5) that may be unfamiliar to learners in other states
• Assessment sorting activity requires prior preparation

Pros

• Resource includes blank tables and graphs 
• Pupils learn different methods for solving motion problems

Cons

• For an Algebra I lesson, the algebra portion is not covered thoroughly
