Understand and use measures of speed (and other compound measures such as density or pressure) to solve problems.

Ensure pupils have an understanding of a rate. Use straightforward contexts, e.g. £1.50 per dozen eggs, wages of £5 per hour, 8.2 miles per litre.

Relate this to conversion graphs.

Start distance/time with very simple examples using mph, e.g. how long does it take to travel 100 miles at 50 mph?
