In this article, I will share with you 4 useful resources that are easy to use when teaching speed, distance, time. So don’t worry about the lack of resources for this topic anymore!
Do you need some drills for students to memorize the formula for average speed?
Or need more rigorous practice such as word problems for speed?
Worried about being viewed as a boring teacher when teaching these concepts?
These 4 no-prep resources are perfect for you!
1) Speed Distance and Time Triangle
This resource helps to introduce your students to use the speed distance time formulas to calculate any 1 variable given the other 2 values. Students will need to fill in the blanks with the correct answer.
This activity is available in 3 different versions: Boom™ Cards, Printable, and an Easel Activity version. This gives you 3 different ways to use this activity. Each activity has 25 Questions.
2) Calculation for Speed Distance and Time
There are 30 boom cards that allow students to calculate speed distance and time.
The multiple-choice deck is great for whole-class review using Interactive Board or for independent practice on students’ devices. With a different mode of transport picture in each card, it adds some interest to the drills.
Content:
- Calculate Speed from distance and time x10
- Finding Distance, Given Speed & Time x10
- Finding Time, Given Distance & Speed x10
You can use this for math centers and reviews or give it as homework.
Note: This is only available at the Boom™ Learning platform.
3) Maths Speed Distance Time Games
After learning how to calculate speed from distance and time and so on, it is time to have some fun! You can always use this to motivate students to be more focused when learning the formula for average speed. Let your students have fun and they will enjoy your lesson for sure!
This resource includes 8 No Prep games that will engage your students. Units used in the whole resource are km, h, and km/h.

4) Word Problems On Speed
You can use this to teach word problems for speed so that students will learn how to solve speed word problems. This is important as word problems involving speed often involve real-world application.
This rigorous activity is available in 3 different versions: Boom™ Cards, Printable, and an Easel Activity version. Each activity has 20 Questions on speed distance time word problems.
CONTENT:
- Notes x3
- Word problems on speed distance and time x20
- Find distance, time, and speed given the other 2 variables.
- Speed Ratio
- Catch Up
- Meet Up
- Measurements: km/h, m/s, m/min
5) Calculate Speed Distance and Time
Okay, this isn’t a standalone resource but a bundle of the above 4 resources. So, if you are interested in all these resources, do grab the money-saving bundle Calculate Speed Distance and Time at 20% off!
A good thing about digital resources is you can use them over and over again. The cost per student is greatly reduced when you use them with more students over the years.
Furthermore, if I were to add in more resources in the future, you will be able to get it at no additional cost! Buy it and let me know what else you need. If it is something my students will need too, I don’t mind creating it and adding it to the bundle.
Conclusion
I created the 4 resources so that my students can have the extra practice. I bundled it up, creating the 5th resource so that fellow teachers can get more with less cost. These products are useful and easy to implement in the classroom. I hope you benefit from them.
You can buy the mentioned resources just by clicking on the link. Or you may search for more useful math resources for students aged 7 to 12 in my TPT store or Boom Store.
