Fascinating Fact:

The Olympic marathon record is about 2 hours and 1 minute, meaning the runner averages more than 13 miles per hour for the entire race.

In 11 Plus Maths, pupils learn how to link time, speed, and distance. These skills are key to solving real-world problems — from planning journeys to understanding sports performance.

Key Terms

  • Speed: How fast something moves, usually measured as distance divided by time.
  • Distance: How far something travels from start to finish, often measured in kilometres or miles.
  • Average Speed: The total distance divided by the total time taken, showing overall pace.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you calculate average speed?

Divide the total distance travelled by the total time taken. For example, if a runner covers 26 miles in 2 hours, their average speed is 13 miles per hour.

Why is it useful to know average speed?

Average speed helps compare journey times or performances. It’s used in travel planning, transport timetables, and sports analysis.

How can I convert between kilometres per hour and miles per hour?

To convert km/h to mph, multiply by 0.62. For example, 100 km/h equals roughly 62 mph. Multiply mph by 1.6 to convert back to km/h.

Events after the birth of Christ are shown by AD - which is NOT After Death! AD stands for 'Anno Domini', e.g. 'The Battle of Waterloo was in AD1815'. This event took place 1,815 years AFTER the birth of Christ.
Nowadays, BCE (before the common era) is used alongside BC, and CE (common era) is used alongside AD
