About This Course
This topic covers real-life applications of graphs in interpreting and presenting motion. Students learn to construct and interpret travel graphs, distance-time graphs, and speed-time graphs. They analyse changes in motion, calculate gradients to determine speed or acceleration, and relate the area under a graph to distance covered. This topic strengthens mathematical modelling skills and real-world data interpretation.
Learning Outcomes:
The learner should be able to:
- tabulate values from given relations.
- plot and draw lines through given points.
- choose and uses appropriate scales.
- draw, read and interpret the graph (e.g. Distance-Time and Speed-Time Graphs to estimate distance, speed and time).
- Calculate total distance covered using the area under speed-time graphs.
- Distinguish between uniform and non-uniform speed.
- Solve word problems based on travel scenarios.
