Four parts, one coherent lesson
Every part returns to one picture: the twin-graph poster, one journey drawn two ways, plus a free-fall column, read across the whole subtopic.
Lesson plan
A timed 45-minute sequence: recall the poster, run Numbered Heads Together across the unit, then a short test and a reflection. Core objectives, examiner traps, differentiation and a timing and contingency note.
Short test and answers
Six original Core questions spanning speed, both graphs, acceleration, deceleration and free fall, with a full worked answer key.
Slides
Ten editable slides: the twin-graph poster, a tool-choosing guide, the six rounds, the examiner traps, and a worked example.
Numbered Heads Together
Six ready-to-use rounds with an answer key, and a full step-by-step facilitation guide with a teacher script and troubleshooting.

This bundle pulls together the student topic pages for the whole subtopic, Speed and velocity, Motion graphs, Acceleration and Free fall, and the Unit 1 motion simulations are on hand for a quick recall before the test.
Check the axis, choose the tool
The poster goes back up and the lesson reads it one last time: on a distance-time graph the gradient is the speed, on a speed-time graph the gradient is the acceleration and the area is the distance, and free fall is a steady 9.8 m/s squared. Every round and every test question maps to one part of that picture.
Numbered Heads Together makes the preparation a shared job: the group must make sure every member can answer, because a random number is called. The traps it pre-empts are the classic ones: mixing up the two graphs, reading an area on a distance-time graph, and averaging speeds instead of using totals. The activity ships with a full facilitation guide so it can be run faithfully, including by a cover teacher.
