Maths Trail: Legoland Windsor.

Legoland Annual Pass 1 day tickets Legoland Ticket Prices Using this information, the children can calculate….. The coins or notes needed to purchase each ticket. The difference between the cost of an adult, child and senior ticket. How many times you would have to visit the park in a year for the annual pass to be worthwhile. How much money is then saved with the annual pass. The price of tickets if brought online.

Opening Hours With this information, the children could….. Get a greater understanding of time by comparing how long the park is open for on different days. Calculate the total number of hours the park is open and closed for per year. Calculate how many rides they could go on in the time the park is open. Then adapt this to include different queuing times.

Higher Ability - compare the queuing time with the ride time and find the difference between them. The Rides Choose 5 rides and time them from start to finish. Which was the quickest? Which was the longest? KS2 - Find the Mean Median Range of the time of their 5 chosen rides. Create a tally chart of how many people visit a ride in a given time frame. They could also do this at different times during the day and calculate the mode and mean number of people that went on that ride throughout the day. Estimate the height of the rides by looking between their legs and walking forward until the ride is in full view. KS1- calculate the perimeter of the ride by counting their steps around it

Map Skills The children could also draw their own maps showing the areas of the park and rides they visited. These maps could also be accompanied with …… instructions of how the children travelled around the park compass points directional language positional language They could also label their maps with the heights, widths and/or lengths of the rides visited, along with key mathematical vocabulary.

In the model village, the children could…….. Estimate the number of lego bricks needed to create specific landmarks and explain their reasoning. Look for and draw any patterns they notice Identify and record lines of symmetry in the models. State and record the different shapes they recognise in picture or word form. The Model Village This area of the park could also be used to introduce the children to ratio and scales.

Maths Puzzles Teachers could also set up a puzzle around the theme park for the children to follow. The children could also work in mixed ability teams and this activity would encourage and develop problem solving skills. They must start at a specific point and solve the clues on the cards provided to progress onto the next aspect of the puzzle. Each clue should have a mathematical element to it, for example, “this is the highest ride in the theme park” and lead to the next clue.
