Duration Display Class Activity
This Duration Display Class Activity makes for a wonderful whole-class activity to engage in a joint construction of a duration display for your classroom.
Alternatively, this resource can be used during rotations as a sorting activity.

Learning goals
- We are learning to compare objects using mass, length and capacity, e.g. heavier, lighter.
- We are learning to compare objects and events based on length, mass, capacity and duration using comparative language, such as short, wide, long, high.
- We are learning to sequence days of the week and times of the day and connect them to familiar events and actions, e.g. connecting breakfast to morning.
- We are learning to explain the order and duration of events.
