Step Teacher’s Activities Pupils’ Activities


Introduction Defines average speed as the The pupils listen attentively
total distance travelled per unit
time
1. Guides pupils on how to find Participate by solving problems
average speed with some
examples
Hint: Av. Speed = Distance/Time
2. Guide pupils to calculate Participate in the discussion by
distance covered within a period attempting some given
of time problems .
Hint: Distance= Av. Speed x Time
3. Guide pupils to find Time taken Pupils solve given problems
to cover a distance

4. Concludes and goes round and Summary


check their work and make
necessary corrections

Average Speed
Bryan travelled a distance of 10 kilometres in 2 hours on a bicycle. Therefore, in 1 hour, he is on a speed
of 5kilometres per hour. We can write 5kilometres per hour as 5km/h or (5kmh-1).

Total distance travelled (km)


Average speed=
Total time
Example s
1. A train takes 5 hours to travel from town A to Town B, which are 500km apart. What is the
average speed?
2. Christabel walks a distance of 5km in 1 hour. How many kilometres will she walk in (a) 2 hours
1
(b) 2 hours

Calculating Time and Distance


If the speed of a movement and the time taken are known, we can find the distance;

Distance = Speed x Time

Examples:
Ex 4 NOs 2, 5

If the speed and the distance of a movement are known, we find the time taken;

Distance travelled
