This Bundle Includes the following 3 Resources:

World Records
This first resourse focuses on ‘Records set around the World’. Learners are tasked with estimating various measurements from the tallest to the heaviest, longest to shortest etc. They are then challenged to convert those amounts to an alternative form of measurement i.e. litre to pints, miles to Kilometres etc

Time for a Holiday
The second resouces starts with a warm up activity and tests the learner’s knowledge of Seaside towns in the UK and their locations. Great task to use on a SMART Board or in separate groups on A3 paper.
It then requires them to study a series of weather graphes and answer questions to confirm they are able to read and extract the correct information.
The final task involves budgeting a holiday to Newquay using a fictional scenario and an allowance of £650.

Possible Extension Tasks
Task 1 - Ask learners to find the location of other towns and activities.
Task 2 - Extend questions to work out the Mean, Mode and Median.
Task 3 - Limit Budget or change the scenario to make it more challenging.

Reading Timetables
This 3rd resource focuses on ‘Reading Timetables’. Learners are tasked with studying 3 examples, a Bus Timetable, a Swimming Pool Timetable and a College Session Timetable and then extracting the information required to answer the set questions and confirm understanding.
The questions can be answered individually or collectively by cutting them into cards. The larger A3 versions (included) can be displayed and the group can carousel around the room. Alternatively, the questions could be called out by the tutor for a more active learning experience. Lots of scope for interpretation, the resources also included some blank question sheets so learners can create some peer to peer questioning.
