Do take a look and have a go at the National Numeracy Challenge Online.
I am very pleased to be supporting this! It can really help with everyday maths.

Everyday Maths … time
It is so easy to overlook
how much we use maths as part of our everyday life.
For example, travelling up
to London by train reminded me how much maths is required just to plan this
trip!
To start with, there is the
use of a timetable. This means understanding how to interpret the timetable as
well as knowing about the 24-hour clock, in order to decide which train to
catch. Then there is working out what time I have to leave the house to ensure
I get that train!
For older children, planning
an outing using trains and buses is a great way to help them with maths. Have
fun!
