A wagon and field trip supplies sit beside a class line in a school hallway.

Julia stands near the front doors with the walking field trip line. The class expected 18 water bottles, but the crate holds 30. The teacher asks Julia to count the extras and use one wagon. An adult will move the full water crate if it needs to be lifted. Clipboards lean against the wall, and the vest basket sits nearby. The group can leave in 20 minutes. Some jobs may need to wait for an adult helper.

Add the estimates and decide whether all the jobs fit in the time available.

TaskMinutes
Count 30 water bottles and set aside extras
Ask an adult to load the water crate into the wagon
Set the vest basket beside the line
Put clipboards at the front of the line
Check the wagon path through the doorway

Time available: 20 minutes

Think about it: Which job would change most if the water bottle count matched the plan?
