If your child understands examples in lessons but struggles to apply them independently, structured GCSE maths tutoring can help rebuild confidence and close gaps step by step.
Key skills
- Reading speed and time values
- Finding acceleration from gradient
- Finding distance from area under the graph
- Interpreting changing speed during a journey
Exam tip: The area under a speed-time graph gives the distance travelled.
Common mistake: A common mistake is using gradient to find distance. Gradient on a speed-time graph gives acceleration.
