An engaging activity where students interpret a train timetable to answer time-based questions, developing their ability to analyse schedules and calculate time intervals. Designed for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Read and interpret train timetables effectively.
• Calculate time durations and identify the longest intervals between stations.
• Enhance problem-solving skills through real-world scenarios.

How the Activity Works:

Students examine a train timetable and answer questions such as identifying the departure time of the last morning train from Montville and determining the longest trip between two stations, including its duration in minutes. This activity provides a practical and engaging way for students to develop their timetable-reading and time calculation skills.
