Time zones around the world - Worksheet

A worksheet on time zones presents an engaging task for students to calculate the time in various countries around the world when it is 12 o'clock midday in the United Kingdom. The task requires students to determine whether each listed country is ahead of (+) or behind (-) the UK in terms of time. The countries included in this exercise are India, Egypt, Paraguay, Canada, Italy, Mexico, and Iceland. Students must use their knowledge of world time zones to work out the corresponding local time for each country, noting the difference by indicating whether the time is earlier or later compared to the UK.

For each country, students are expected to fill in the time that corresponds to 12 o'clock midday in the UK and then specify if that time is ahead or behind the UK time. This exercise not only tests their understanding of time zone differences but also enhances their geographical awareness and their ability to perform simple time calculations. This worksheet is a practical tool for developing skills in handling global time zone conversions, an essential skill in our interconnected world.
