Max Maths, Year 4, Try it, Timetables (1)

In the 'Try it' section of the Max Maths Year 4 textbook, students are asked to review a timetable for a school's Performance Night and answer a series of questions based on the schedule of events. The timetable lists various performances by different year groups and other activities, all with their corresponding times. For instance, the event kicks off at 4.15 p.m. with an announcement by the school head, followed by performances from Year 1 through Year 6 at half-hour intervals, with breaks and a closing speech also included in the evening's agenda.

The questions are designed to test the students' ability to read and interpret the timetable accurately. They need to identify the specific times at which breaks and performances occur, such as the first break at 5.30 p.m. and the first performance by Year 1 at 4.30 p.m. Additionally, they are asked to pinpoint the time when Year 6 performs, which is at 7.30 p.m., and to state what happens at a particular time, such as the Year 2 performance at 5.00 p.m. The second break is scheduled for 6.45 p.m., and at 7.00 p.m., students need to identify that Year 5 is about to start their performance. These questions help reinforce the students' understanding of reading timetables and calculating the passage of time.
