Distance Time Graphs

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Distance Time Graphs assessment also includes:
  • Distance TIme Graphs Video
  • Answer Key
  • Join to access all included materials

If only there was a graph to show the distance traveled over a period of time. Given distance-time graphs, pupils read them to determine the answers to questions. Using the distance and time on a straight line, scholars calculate the speed. The resource is a review of the math section of the General Certificate of Secondary Education assessment.
