Statistics - Timetables (2) - Worksheet

The worksheet provided is a practical exercise designed to enhance children's ability to read and interpret timetables, a key skill in the subject of Statistics. Initially, the children are tasked with simple retrieval questions that require them to practice reading timetables by identifying activities occurring at specific times and days. This repetitive approach allows them to become familiar with the layout and information presented in a timetable. As they progress, the children are encouraged to formulate multiple questions based on the timetable data, promoting a deeper engagement with the material.

Advancing from basic retrieval, the worksheet introduces more complex questions that challenge the children to calculate the duration of lessons and solve multi-step problems. These activities are designed to test their comprehension and analytical skills, as they must now consider not only when activities occur but also their length and sequence. For example, they may need to determine what happens at a certain time on a specific day, how long a particular lesson lasts, or what lessons they would miss if they had an appointment. The worksheet culminates in a series of questions that require children to combine various skills, including addition and subtraction of time, to solve problems related to the timetable. This structured progression ensures that children develop both fluency and precision in reading and interpreting timetables.
