98s

Higher tier only

Use a tangent to estimate the instantaneous rate of change of a non-linear graph

98s Estimate the gradient of a curve at a given point.

98s Determine the acceleration from a velocity-time graph.

69a: Find the gradient of a straight line graph and interpret it as a rate of change (e.g velocity or acceleration)

87s: Calculate and interpret the gradient of a distance-time or velocity-time graph (higher tier only)

96s: Know that the gradient at a point on a curve describes an instantaneous rate of change (higher tier only)

97s: Use a chord to estimate the average rate of change of a non-linear graph (higher tier only)
