By the end of Year 4, children are expected to be able to;
read, write and convert time between analogue and digital 12- and 24-hour clocks
solve problems involving converting from hours to minutes; minutes to seconds; years to months; weeks to days.
The class have been working hard to grasp the concept of time. To aid understanding, we have used lots of time related resources.
Children need hands on and visual hooks to understand new concepts in Maths. Resources play a very important role and provide the children a ‘window’ in, to make sense of the problem at hand by touching them, playing with them, exploring the patterns and relationships which can make a huge difference between understanding for depth or just for procedure.
“Playing a time game has helped me to understand how to convert to digital.”
Question your child about time.
How many days in a fortnight?
True or false? There are seven months in the year that have 31 days?
A school day lasts for 6 hours and 35 minutes. How long is this in just minutes?
What is the difference between am and pm?
How many years are there in 9 decades?
