Speed, distance, time
Lesson presentations and activities
Cross-curricular lesson(s) on distance- time graphs with a Hunger games theme. Links together Maths, English, Physics and possibly P.E. (could also link in with archery)
Students begin to Interpret and construct distance-time graphs, looking at the stories that could be represented by parts of the graph and what type of movement the graphs could describe.
This also includes a practical activity where students move around and graph their movements and opportunities for extended writing in which they describe the story that could be shown by a graph in more detail. This would be great for a break out week / end of term activity.
Please let me know if you like this resource, thanks!Reviews

This is a great lesson that builds up on the Speed, Distance, Time formula and introduces Distance-Time Graphs with a theme that pupils can really get their teeth into. The lesson provides practice of understanding how a Distance-Time Graph will look for particular scenarios and drawing them from descriptions. My only improvement is some further questions drawing or using accurate graphs with labelled axis. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent resource, scaffolds nicely
Converting speeds, quick introduction, one class question and then 5 questions (with answers) split into two levels.

Good for a quick review and some practice, but didn't use for actually teaching the topic

Fabulous - very clear. Thanks for keeping it free.

A series of seven simple challenges to help students develop the skill of calculating speeds, distances and times. I created this for a group of 'low-achieving' students in Year 9. I made a point of not giving them the speed equation or the equation triangle, as they were able instead to use their own instinctive understanding to do the calculations.

I used this for a bright year 7 class, they really appreciated using their instinctive understanding to derive the speed = dist / time formula themselves. Thanks!

This resource is for GCSE Higher revision but can be used for KS3. This lesson goes through being able to interpret distance-time graphs, finding the average speed and also being able to find the gradient from a straight-line graph. There are also two worksheets for students to work through; I have made the distance-time graphs one but not the gradient worksheet so no credit for that.

It's a great idea, but I cannot find the map. I'm planning to give this activity to my kids next week. It'd be nice if I can have a copy of the map. Thank you!
