Demystifying - Speed, distance and time

Drills

Using speed as distance per unit time to find any quantity from the other two.

Author note — to cover

Cover speed as distance per unit time, rearranged to find any of the three, units mph, km/h and m/s, and decimal-hour care (2.4 hours is 2 h 24 min). Single-stage journeys only. Multi-stage averages are average-speed, unit switching is converting-rates, and graph readings sit in the rates-on-graphs group. Both tiers. (R11, R1)

  • Fluency — direct questions on speed, distance and time, limited to this lesson's stated scope (4 questions).
  • Application — use the same skill in unfamiliar or contextual questions without introducing a later method (4 questions).
  • Check — questions built around the exclusions and likely misconceptions named in the lesson brief (4 questions).
