Pupils plot and analyse distance-time graphs to assess how they spent their time on a school trip to London.
Scenario
Pupils have returned from a school trip to London and are analysing how they spent their time during the trip. Pupils will plot distance-time graphs for their journeys around London, and use the distance-time formula to calculate speed.
