Abstract:The formula d = rt when applied to living conditions teems with romance and adventure. This formula can be related to the pupils' experience. It can open the door to a wealth of information, and can bring into the classroom some of that feeling of the magic of travel today. The pupils are already familiar with the idea if not with the actual formula. A few days spent on transportation at the beginning of the study of equations and formulas can motivate the entire unit.
