When Fatou rides her ebike to school, she averages 20 kilometers per hour because of traffic. On the way back home, she averages 30 kilometers per hour because traffic is not as bad. The total travel time is 2 and a half hours. How far is Fatou from school?
How could you generalize this problem?

It’s not a problem if you want to just talk, and it’s also not a problem if you want to show a visual somehow. (We just want to see how you do/have been sharing mathematical thinking.)

Is this a problem that you imagine you would do with your students? Explain.
How does our previous discussion inform the goal for your Problem Solving unit? What would the unit look like?
How would you “teach” problem solving strategies so that students organically learn?
How would you sequence these types of problems and organize them for the unit? Is there a pattern to these types of problems ;)
