Maths in pictures: Time

Time is a surprisingly vast topic, covering not only reading both analogue and digital clocks, but also working out time duration, converting times, and understanding and using dates and calendars. The following activities will allow children to discover a practical use to all aspects of time by using a number of real-life problems and images.

Begin the lesson by using one of the maths images on the Interactive resource, ‘Maths in pictures – time’ to kick-start a discussion on time problems before moving on to one of the activities below. You can then return to one of the more difficult image questions in the PowerPoint® presentation to assess learning during the plenary.
