IB Math AI HL AHL 5.13 – Kinematics
Topic: Calculus
Level: IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (HL)
File Type: Editable Slides / Lesson Presentation
Overview
This resource introduces kinematics as an application of calculus for modeling motion in a straight line.
Students will explore the relationships between displacement, velocity, and acceleration using differentiation and integration, and learn to solve motion problems analytically and graphically.
Through engaging visual examples and contextualized problems, students build a deep understanding of how calculus connects to real-world motion, including direction, speed, and change over time.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
Define and distinguish between displacement, distance, velocity, speed, and acceleration.
Interpret motion using both graphical and algebraic models.
Differentiate and integrate to find velocity, acceleration, or displacement.
Solve motion problems using given position or velocity functions.
Analyze velocity-time graphs to determine distance travelled and displacement.
Apply kinematics concepts to vertical motion under gravity.
What’s Included
Clear visual introduction explaining motion, displacement, and direction on a number line.
Step-by-step explanation of how velocity and acceleration represent rates of change.
Examples illustrating positive and negative displacement and velocity.
Interactive comparisons between displacement and distance to emphasize conceptual understanding.
Guided example: differentiating displacement ( s(t) ) to find velocity and acceleration, and identifying when the particle is at rest.
Second example: analyzing a piecewise velocity function to find total distance and displacement using graphical methods.
Third example: modeling projectile motion of a ball thrown vertically upward, including maximum height, time of flight, and motion symmetry.
Fully worked solutions for all examples, showing detailed calculus steps.
Topics Covered
Displacement, velocity, acceleration, and their relationships.
Differentiation and integration in motion problems.
Velocity-time and displacement-time graph interpretation.
Piecewise motion and total distance calculations.
Applications to free-fall and vertical motion under gravity.
Why You’ll Love It

These 2 resources cover all the required knowledge and techniques for the topic of kinematics, as required for AS part of the new A level. In each section it contains notes, explanations and examples to work through with your class followed by an exercise of questions for students to attempt themselves (answers included).
The first resource is a 39-page booklet which covers the following:
1.Motion on a straight line (constant acceleration)
2.Standard and non-standard units
3.Using differentiation (non-constant acceleration)
4.Using integration (non-constant acceleration)
5.Displacement-time graphs and velocity-time graphs
6. Using and refining models
The second resource is an 14-question assessment that can be used as a homework or test. Fully worked solutions to this assessment are provided.
This projectable and printable resource will save you having to create or write out any notes/examples when teaching the topic, and will make things easier for your students as they can just work directly on the given spaces provided for solutions. The comprehensive set of exercises contains around 70 questions for your students to complete. Answers to all exercises are included.
Here is an example of one of my A level resources that is freely available:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/differentiation-and-integration-with-exponential-and-trigonometric-functions-new-a-level-11981186
This product consists of a Power Point presentation about ‘Motion graphs’ with some exercise questions at the end of the lesson plan.
To make the understanding better, a worksheet with answers is also enclosed.
My students showed enough understanding after teaching the topic with this product. Believe it helps most of the learners.
As the exercise questions at the end of the PowerPoint and worksheet questions come with the answers, it enables students who do self-study to understand clearly and also guides teachers who are new to the teaching field.
Kindly give your feedback!
