Do Now!
Today’s lesson
• Interpreting distance-time and speed-time graphs
A reminder

Let’s go on the corridor!
Quietly and sensibly!
You’ll need a pencil and your
books

Can you read what Mr Porter has written in your book and then
finish the questions you did last lesson?

The area under the graph gives the distance travelled
Example:
