London Travel Day Co-Pilots Ages 10-15 | Printable Math and Logic Travel Challenge Book | Budgets, Routes, Real Day Project, 56 Pages
London Travel Day Co-Pilots. 56 pages for ages 10 to 15, and I'll say this first: it is a math book. Budgets, percentages, exchange rates, route calculations and multi step logic. If your kid enjoys math, they will love it. If math is not their thing, they will not, and I'd rather tell you that now.
It opens with Tower Bridge and the problem its designers had to solve, how do people cross the Thames without closing the river to ships. Then your co-pilot gets smaller versions of the same problem. The connection case, three ways to reach a 10:50 meeting with a family of four, a budget, a walking limit and a plan that has to meet every condition. An eighteen minute delay. A weighted decision matrix where cost, time, energy and curiosity pull in different directions. The exchange rate trap. Does the pass pay off. Five travelers, five meetings. A two stage cipher. The average that misleads. The two kilogram packing problem.
Pages 35 to 40 are the real project. Your kid plans a London day you could use, with an evidence ledger, a workable itinerary, a price for your actual crew, a stress test, and a pitch to the family. Then on the trip they compare the plan with reality.
Gavin is the co-pilot in this one. He spots the missing bit, the walk between platforms nobody had counted.

WHO MADE THISI'm Nicole, an ASTA Verified Travel Advisor with FG Luxury Travel, and I plan international family trips for a living. Adventures We Seek is my travel blog and planning resource, and trips are booked through Favorite Grampy Travels. Before that I taught social studies for eight years.
In May 2026 we sold our house and moved abroad with our three kids and the dog, so we are going country to country right now with one hiking bag each, no suitcases. Every book in this library has our family in it. Gavin, Jake, Avilene, Adam, me and Poppy the dog, who is quite sure she is a person.
