About Speed Distance Time Word Problems
Speed Distance Time Word Problems develops Grade 7 fluency with the relationship that links how far, how fast and how long. Each problem describes a journey and asks the student to find the missing quantity: the distance from a speed and a time, the average speed from a distance and a time, or the time from a distance and a speed. Working confidently with the speed-distance-time triangle is a core lower-secondary expectation across the US, UK, Canada and Australia, and it is one of the clearest examples of how multiplication and division model the real world. Each variation rehearses a different rearrangement of the same relationship, so students come to understand it deeply rather than memorising a single formula. The numbers are chosen so answers come out cleanly, keeping attention on choosing the right operation and interpreting the units. Generous working space supports structured solutions. The five levels grow the figures gradually so the reading stays accessible while the calculation stretches. Each page prints cleanly on a standard A4 sheet, and every level downloads with its own complete answer key with units. There is no advertising, no sign-up and no data leaves the device. Use it to apply rates in context or alongside our problem-solving games.
Common questions
- Which quantities are covered?
- Finding distance, average speed, or time from the other two.
- What grade is this for?
- Grade 7 learners aged 11 to 12.
- Is an answer key included?
- Yes, every level has its own answer key with units.
A hand for grown-ups
- Before you start
- Find a calm few minutes with no rush. Let your child know it is fine to find some of it tricky — that is what practice is for.
- While they work
- Sit nearby but let them lead. If they get stuck, ask "what could you try?" rather than giving the answer — the thinking is the point.
- Afterwards
- Ask them to show you one they found easy and one they found hard. Praise the effort on the hard one, not just the right answers.
- Watch out for
- Rushing. If answers come too fast and wrong, slow the pace down together rather than pushing for more.
- Away from the screen
- Look for the same maths in everyday life — counting stairs, sharing snacks, spotting shapes on a walk.
