This is a Mathematics/Statistics resource that enables students to practise their problem-solving skills that relate to reading and interpreting data. The task is based on the reading of actual timetables from the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.
As the task links to specific information about the Isle of Wight Steam Railway it should be interesting and relevant to students when they visit.
Questions have been chosen because they link with core Mathematics/Statistics skills.
