Quite simple if you understand acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time, which in simple terms means speeding up. The faster you speed up, the greater your acceleration. Deceleration is negative accelration, ie slowing down.

Mathematically, acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / (final time - initial time)

and deceleration is acceleration with a minus sign at the start.
