2.24 Distance Time Graphs GCSE PowerPoint Lesson

In this 21-slide lesson, students will learn how to interpret and draw distance-time graphs to represent real-life journeys. They will explore how the gradient of a line relates to speed and how to describe different sections of a graph, such as constant speed, rest, or changes in speed. The lesson develops students’ ability to link graphical features to motion and solve problems using the graph. This builds a deeper understanding of rates and relationships between variables.
