Description

In this unit pupils expand upon knowledge developed in the linear graphs unit. Pupils are introduced to rates of change and the gradient of the tangent as a way of estimating the gradient of a curve.

In the previous unit, pupils looked at compound measures liike speed, and this work is further developed to look at speed distance time graphs, and links features of graphs to practical interpretation.

  1. Checking and securing understanding of reading from context-based graphs
  2. Checking and securing understanding of drawing distance-time graphs
  3. Distance-time graphs
  4. Speed-time graphs
  5. Non-linear distance-time graphs
  6. Interpreting and drawing real-life graphs
  7. Interpreting and drawing more real-life graphs
  8. Calculating the rate of change
  9. Estimating the gradient of a curve
  10. Improving the estimate of the gradient of a curve
  11. Finding the equation of a radius of a circle
  12. Finding the equation of the tangent to a circle
  13. Calculating journeys from linear speed-time graphs
  14. Estimating journeys from non-linear graphs
  15. Efficiently estimating journeys from non-linear graphs
  16. Advanced problem solving with real-life graphs
