Speed resources

Students answer questions about time and average speed given a rate of walking.

Students interpret a graph about getting to school, writing descriptions about each students journey and making statements comparing the journeys.

Task: calculate answer to questions about speed, distance, and time. Assessment focus: using a formula.

Students interpret a graph of a bike trip to answer questions about time and distance.

Students answer questions about distance, speed and time, and identify an expression that describes the distance (kilometres) from the starting point in terms of time (minutes).

Students complete and interpret a graph to answer questions about time, distance and speed.

Students interpret a line graph showing the distance travelled and the time for two car journeys and answer questions about time, distance and speed.

Students calculate the distance travelled by the tips of the hands on a clock, and calculate the speed of one of the tips.

Task: interpret a graph of a car's journey and add to the graph to represent a further description of the journey. Assessment focus: graph interpretation.

Students interpret distance-time graphs for a number of scenarios.

Three key variables related to high altitude flight are displayed graphically. Students use the information provided to answer a series of questions about flight.

Students interpret distance-time graphs that show a car's movement and draw their own graph from given statements.

Given their intercepts and slopes, students are required to graph three different linear equations that have been written in a practical context.

Students calculate times and speeds of scouts on a cycling tour.

Students answer questions that require calculations with distance, time and speed.

This task requires students to calculate multiplication and rate problems.

Students convert speeds of vintage cars into kilometres per hour, and calculate distances travelled at these speeds.

Students interpret a graph of the Hare's Progress to answer questions about rate, rest, and reading sections of the graph. They also identify the constant motion of the tortoise and explain the result of the race.

Students interpret graphs showing the different ways that four people run a race.

This task is about working out distances and speeds.

Students read scales from a car speedometer.

Students answer a question about working out many kilometres were travelled in one hour from a given time to travel one kilometre.
