Subtopic: Calculating Rate

Change grade range

Resource	Grade Level	Media Type
Bianca Goes to the Movie This Cyberchase video segment features Bianca, who must figure out the fastest route to a movie premiere.	4-8	QuickTime Video
Calculating Speed In this Cyberchase video segment, the CyberSquad calculates the speed of each broom.	4-8	QuickTime Video
Defining, Describing and Calculating Rate Students explore their prior knowledge of rate and extend it to create tables of values coordinating time and distance. They learn how to examine distance-time graphs and how to calculate unit rates.	5-8	Lesson Plan
Determining Rates from Graphs Students learn about and practice calculating rates (positive, negative and zero) using data from graphs.	4-8	Lesson Plan
Digit in Pursuit The CyberSquad tracks Digit’s position in time and then studies graphs to figure out what Hacker is scheming in this video from Cyberchase.	4-8	QuickTime Video
Estimating Distance and Time Students learn to estimate the time it takes to travel different distances based on an estimation of the time it takes to travel a part of the whole route. This reinforces basic fractional/ratio thinking, as well as early multiplication as repeated addition.	3-5	Lesson Plan
Estimating Distance and Travel Time In this Cyberchase video segment, the CyberSquad estimates how much air supply they will need to complete an underwater mission.	3-6	QuickTime Video
Estimating Time from Rate Harry estimates how long it will take him to get to the front of a long ticket line in this Cyberchase video segment.	3-6	QuickTime Video
Estimation Students practice their estimation skills by estimating time and numbers of objects in situations in which counting is not feasible or necessary.	3-6	Lesson Plan
The Fastest Broom The CyberSquad tests which broom can travel the furthest in five seconds in this video from Cyberchase.	4-8	QuickTime Video
Firefighter Training In this video segment from Cyberchase, Harry decides to train as a firefighter and uses line graphs to chart his physical fitness progress.	4-8	QuickTime Video
Fitness Evaluated Using Rate Students study rate and learn to fill in missing values in order to keep a constant rate. They also learn to distinguish graphs of rate versus time and graphs of quantity versus time.	5-8	Lesson Plan
Get Me to the Premiere on Time Students solve simple speed and distance problems as a means to develop a generalization of the distance equation d=rt. Assessments examine whether students can solve equivalent forms of the equation for different variables.	4-8	Lesson Plan
Intercepting Villains Using the Correct Rate Students learn about calculating rate and practice solving the equation d=rt for different variables.	4-8	Lesson Plan
A Race to Motherboard In this video from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad figures out how fast their broom must go so they can reach Motherboard before Wicked.	5-8	QuickTime Video
