Max Maths, Year 4, Learn together, Timetables (2)
Maths Resource Description
In the Year 4 Max Maths curriculum, students engage in a practical application of reading timetables through an exercise involving a school timetable. Han, a character in the exercise, has meticulously written down his schedule for Monday, which includes a variety of subjects at specific times. His day begins with an English class at 9.15 a.m., followed by an Art lesson at 12.45 p.m. After enjoying some creative time, he gears up for Physical Education (P.E.) at 1.30 p.m. and then winds down his academic activities with a Maths class at 2.30 p.m.
The exercise not only helps students understand how to read and interpret timetables but also includes interactive questions to encourage peer learning. For instance, Tya is asked to identify which lesson Han has at 1.30 p.m., prompting her to look at the timetable and confirm that it is P.E. Meanwhile, Toby is tasked with determining the time Han has his Art lesson, which is clearly stated as 12.45 p.m. This activity is designed to develop students' ability to connect times with scheduled events and enhance their understanding of daily time management.
