Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A cyclist travels from town A to town B. The distance–time graph for this journey is a straight line with a positive gradient. What does the gradient of this line represent?

  1. The distance travelled
  2. The speed of the cyclist
  3. The acceleration of the cyclist
  4. The time taken for the journey
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BThe speed of the cyclist
Award 1 mark for identifying that the gradient of a distance–time graph represents speed. A is incorrect — distance is read from the vertical axis, not the gradient. C is incorrect — acceleration is found from the gradient of a speed–time graph, not a distance–time graph. D is incorrect — time is read from the horizontal axis.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

Maria records the motion of a car travelling along a straight road. The distance–time graph shows a curved line that becomes steeper over time. Which statement correctly describes the motion of the car?

  1. The car is stationary
  2. The car is moving at constant speed
  3. The car is decelerating
  4. The car is accelerating
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: DThe car is accelerating
Award 1 mark for recognising that increasing gradient on a distance–time graph indicates increasing speed, hence acceleration. A is incorrect — a stationary object shows a horizontal line. B is incorrect — constant speed shows a straight line with constant gradient. C is incorrect — deceleration would show a curve becoming less steep.

CIE IGCSE Mathematics: Distance–time graphs and speed–time graphs: interpretation and calculation FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Mathematics questions on Distance–time graphs and speed–time graphs: interpretation and calculation are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Distance–time graphs and speed–time graphs: interpretation and calculation for CIE IGCSE Mathematics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CIE paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Mathematics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Distance–time graphs and speed–time graphs: interpretation and calculation practice with other Mathematics topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Distance–time graphs and speed–time graphs: interpretation and calculation questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Mathematics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Mathematics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Distance–time graphs and speed–time graphs: interpretation and calculation typically tested on CIE IGCSE Mathematics papers?
Distance–time graphs and speed–time graphs: interpretation and calculation appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Mathematics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
