Daylight hours maths activity

Looking at the length of the day through the seasons and predicting the longest and shortest days

In this fun maths activity, students will look at the way the length of the day changes over the year.

They will use a data sheet to plot a graph, then interpret the data to work out the date of the longest and shortest days of the year in the United Kingdom.

A free activity sheet can be downloaded below.

Oh ho ho, and please do share your poetry highlights with us @IETeducation! #SantaLovesSTEM
