Rollercoaster Rides

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to explore and model how to select and add sets of times in hours and minutes to calculate the duration of building a rollercoaster to match a specific design.
The class can work out how long it might take to build different rollercoasters with a range of track sections such as curves, loops and drops.
Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explore and model how to select and add sets of times in hours and minutes to calculate the duration of building a rollercoaster to match a specific design
Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to record how to add sets of times in hours and minutes to calculate the duration of building rollercoasters with different track sections to match some specific designs.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to calculate the duration of building a rollercoaster design when working with times using hours and minutes,
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to practise identifying and calculating the timing and duration of rides and events when visiting a theme park on a special family trip. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
