Joe visits the park and spends an hour there. If it takes 15 minutes to walk to the park, and 15 minutes to walk back again, how long is Joe out for?

Once children are familiar with telling the time to the hour, half hour and quarter hour, and can also tell the time to 5 minutes, to test their understanding they will be expected to solve simple problems to do with time. These problems will focus on the units of time, hours, half hours and quarter hours, and will be set in real life contexts such as journeys or TV programs.
