Swimming Diving 3Bda41
1. Let's state the problem: We want to solve a swimming and diving related problem in a way that a year 6 learner can understand easily.
2. Usually, swimming and diving problems involve calculating distances, speeds, or times. The basic formula we use is:
$$\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}$$
3. Important rules:
- Speed is how fast someone or something moves.
- Time is how long it takes.
- Distance is how far they go.
4. To solve such problems, we identify what we know and what we need to find.
5. For example, if a swimmer swims at 2 meters per second for 5 seconds, the distance is:
$$\text{Distance} = 2 \times 5 = 10 \text{ meters}$$
6. If the problem involves diving, we might calculate the time it takes to fall from a height using formulas from physics, but for year 6, we keep it simple by focusing on speed, time, and distance.
7. Always remember to keep units consistent (meters, seconds) and check your answer makes sense.
This approach helps understand swimming and diving problems easily by focusing on the main formula and simple multiplication.
