Max Maths, Year 6, Work Book, Time review (3)

In the Max Maths Workbook for Year 6, students are encouraged to apply their knowledge of time through a series of word problems. These problems require students to calculate durations, convert between hours and minutes, and understand the passage of time in different contexts. For instance, Jade and Han's boat trip duration needs to be calculated by noting their departure and arrival times and drawing a model to find the answer. This exercise helps students visualise and compute the length of the trip, enhancing their understanding of time intervals.

Another task asks students to determine the total usage of a washing machine that runs for 1 hour and 30 minutes daily over the course of a week and a year, requiring them to perform multiplication and addition of time units. Similarly, Padma's total outing time, including play and travel to and from the park, is to be calculated, with her departure and return times given, offering students a practical application of time addition and subtraction. The workbook further challenges students with problems like calculating the time taken for a coffee machine to brew multiple jugs of coffee and determining the start and finish times of Han's test at school, as well as the duration he took to complete it. These exercises are designed to break down complex time problems into manageable parts, fostering critical thinking and time management skills.
