Understanding Distance-Time Graphs

This document provides instruction and examples for using distance-time graphs. It includes: - An introduction explaining that steeper lines on the graphs indicate faster speeds. - Examples of distance-time graphs with questions to solve for time, distance, and average speed. - An extension task using distance-time graphs to solve real-world scenario questions about walking, cycling, and traveling by different modes of transportation.
