A worksheet for students to work with and understand time zones around the world.
Time Zone Worksheet Activity That Build Real-World Maths Understanding
This time zone worksheet pack introduces students to the concept of global time differences by using Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) as a reference point. Students learn that time zones are measured in hours ahead of or behind GMT, then apply this knowledge to solve problems by adding and subtracting time differences.
The resource includes a clearly organised table of global locations and their corresponding time differences, such as Hawaii (–10 hours), Japan (+9 hours) and New Zealand (+12 hours). Students use this information to calculate the local time in different parts of the world, helping to build both mathematical reasoning and geographical awareness.
An answer key is included to support quick and efficient marking.
