HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2024!
A fantastic Maths Challenge! ANSWERS provided!
Learning Intention: To investigate time zones and to calculate flight times.
Activity: Students have to calculate the arrival time (UK and local time at destination) for each flight.
For the highest achieving students, they have to use the 2 websites provided to calculate flight times and time zone differences as well as generating their own flights!
Almost every parent commented on how exciting and challenging this homework challenge was and the students loved it!
PDF and Word formats available so fully editable.
Please note: Depending on the time of year, the flight times on the activity sheets may vary by 1 HOUR. This is because of daylight saving times (when the UK clocks move forwards/backwards by 1 hour ). You don’t need to worry about this, just use the times written on the activity.
Various TIME challenges … the children love them!
Activity: Students must time and record how long it takes to complete each challenge … just give each group a stopwatch and off you go.
Tried and Tested.
Fun for all!
