 * GOOGLE EARTH TREASURE HUNT**


 * Jo Hitchens Yr 6 Team Leader**
 * Knox Grammar School**

In this workshop, Jo will take you through a differentiated Mathematics unit of work on Measurement: Time. The unit uses the theme of global treasure hunters to explore time zones, longitude, latitude, 24 hour time, calculating elapsed time and plotting a travel itinerary for apprentice treasure hunters using Google Earth. You will be provided with teaching tools, background information and resources to enable you to begin teaching the unit upon returning to your school – very practical!
