Scheme of work
By the end of this worksheet you should be able to:
Classwork: Questions 5 & 5
a. Recognise that on a travel graph, time is
Further Practice: Questions 3 & 4 always shown along the “x” axis and
distance along the “y” axis.

b. Recognise that on a travel graph distance

normally refers to the distance from a
certain point.

c. Remember that there are 60 minutes in one

hour and that 1 tenth of an hour is 6 minutes
and 1 quarter of an hour is 15 minutes.

d. Complete a distance-time graph from data

given descriptively or in a table.

e. Use the equation:

Average Speed = distance travelled

time taken

A.S. = d
Reference: t

f. Transform the Average Speed equation in

order to calculate the distance travelled or
the time taken.
