Distance worksheet Yr 10 Revision

See my other post on Maths for my little ramble about how math should be taught in an engaging way for students. My tactic is to tell them a little story, like this one-

1. Alicia the Cheetah can run at 115 kilometres per hour (kph). How far does she run in four hours?

2. Alicia runs for twenty-nine minutes. How far has she run?

3. On Monday, Alicia has news to tell Ryan the Lion about game hunters on the plains. Ryan can run at 81 kph. If they are 196 kilometres from each other and run towards each other (starting at the same time), how long will it take them to meet?

4. On Tuesday, Ryan has news for Alicia. This time they are 588 kilometres from each other. How long will it take them to meet each other if they both run towards the other?

5. On Wednesday, Alicia has news for Ryan, and they are 98 kilometres from each other. How long will it take them to meet if they both run towards each other?

6. On Thursday, Ryan and Alicia meet after having run for ¾ of an hour. How far apart were they when they first started running?

7. On Friday, Ryan gets shot in his front paw and now can only run at 62 kph. However, he and Alicia still meet to discuss news. It takes them 5 ½ hours for them to meet. How far apart were they when they first started running?

8. On Saturday, game hunters kill 21,500 lions. There were 30,000 lions alive on Friday. What percentage of lions were killed?

9. On Sunday, Alicia and Ryan get the remaining big cats together and maul the hunting camp. No maths here. Just remember that animals deserve our respect too, or they might rise up and seek their revenge.
