Max Maths, Year 6, Work Book, Using timetables

In the Max Maths Year 6 Workbook, students are given a series of exercises that require them to apply their understanding of reading and using timetables to solve real-world problems. Practice 4 focuses on Han's weekly schedule and asks students to calculate the end times for his various appointments and activities by adding durations to the given start times. For instance, on Monday, Han has planned to ask his teacher for help with homework at 2.15 p.m. for a duration of 50 minutes. Students are tasked with determining the finish time of this meeting and are encouraged to draw a timeline to illustrate their working out.

Other activities throughout the week include a football practice on Tuesday, which lasts for 1 hour and 45 minutes, starting at 11.45 a.m. Students must calculate the time Han will finish practice. On Wednesday, Han has dinner plans with his Grandmother and needs to calculate what time he should leave school to arrive on time, considering it takes him 1 hour and 10 minutes to travel there. Thursday's challenge is to work out the latest time Han can leave home to reach the school assembly by 8.20 a.m., given it takes him 45 minutes to get to school. Finally, on Friday, Han goes fishing with his Dad at 9.00 a.m. for 4 hours and 15 minutes, and students need to figure out what time they will leave for home. These exercises help students practice calculating with time in a practical context, enhancing their time management and mathematical skills.
