The Bee Problem
In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders rewrite a word problem using algebraic symbols. They calculate the distance flown before the impact of the two objects occurs. An answer key is provided.
Curated OER
Tracking Speed
Students collect data for a runner by measuring the time it takes for the runner to run equal distances. After collecting data, students average speeds and accelerations for the runner. Assignment is completed by graphing the data.
