What is 5 blocks per minute?

"5 blocks per minute means you can move 5 blocks in just one minute."

Imagine you're playing with your favorite building toy, like Legos or Blocks. If you build a tower using 5 blocks, and it only takes you one minute, that's what we call "5 blocks per minute." It’s like how fast you can stack your toys.

Let’s think about time:

• In 1 minute, there are 60 seconds, that’s the length of a song on the radio.
• If you build 5 blocks in that time, it means you're working pretty quickly!

Now imagine if you were building with your little brother or sister. If you both can each do "5 blocks per minute," together you could make 10 blocks in one minute, like finishing a whole level of a game super fast!

If you have to build 20 blocks for a big tower, and you're doing 5 blocks per minute, it would take you 4 minutes, just like how long it takes to sing four songs in a row.
