7/8 Maths - My Holiday to the Gold Coast

Introduction

We are learning about time and reading timetables in Maths. You will plan a holiday to the Gold Coast. You need to figure out how you will get there and find timetables for planes or buses. You need to think about what restaurants you want to eat at, and what time they are open. You also need to decide what you are going to do on each day of your holiday, and the times that your activities are open.
