Year 11 Distance Speed Time Worksheets (GCSE) | Printable PDFs
Year 11 Distance Speed Time worksheets for Year 11 Maths (Key Stage 4, GCSE). In Year 11, distance, speed and time problems require you to understand the relationship between three connected quantities. The key formula is speed = distance ÷ time. This can be rearranged to give distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. It is important to check that the units are consistent, for example kilometres with hours or metres with seconds.
GCSE questions may involve average speed, journeys split into different stages, or converting between units such as m/s and km/h. To solve these problems, identify the information given, choose the correct formula and substitute the values carefully. For multi-stage journeys, remember that average speed = total distance ÷ total time, rather than simply finding the average of the individual speeds.

Speed-Time Graphs
Common Questions about Year 11 Distance Speed Time
What is the difference between a distance-time graph and a speed-time graph?
A distance-time graph shows how distance changes over time, while a speed-time graph shows how speed changes over time. The gradient of a distance-time graph represents speed.What does a horizontal line mean on a distance-time graph?
A horizontal line means the distance is not changing, so the object is stationary and not moving.How can water levels be represented on a graph?
Water level graphs show how the depth or height of water changes over time. Students interpret rises, falls and periods where the water level remains constant.
Year 11 Distance Speed Time Common Mistakes
Common Mistake 1
Confusing distance-time graphs with speed-time graphs.Common Mistake 2
Thinking a horizontal line on a distance-time graph means constant speed instead of stationary.Common Mistake 3
Forgetting that the gradient of a distance-time graph represents speed.
