Free time Functional Maths task

Students fill in how they spend their time. Some may colour code, some may write in the boxes. Then they work out how much time they spend on each activity per week.

It’s up to them (or you!) how they present their answers. For example, as a written report, as bullet points, as a bar chart, pie chart (using a spreadsheet), etc.

Don’t forget to work out how much time they spend asleep! They should also make sure their total is the same as 7 × 24. This can then generate some interesting comparisons and discussion. It’s also a good chance to suggest some of them do a bit more study and a bit less X-box… :)
