Maths Unit: Elapsed Time
This unit is great for understanding and practising elapsed time with digital and analogue time as well as solving word problems. There are various worksheets included to practise recording the elapsed time, writing the correct hands on the analogue clocks and recording the digital time. The unit also provides an assessment challenge to test your knowledge and understanding on the concept at the conclusion of the unit.
Learning goals
- We are learning to use ‘am’ and ‘pm’ notation and solve simple time problems, e.g. calculating time spent at school, time spent travelling between two locations, determining arrival time with given departure time.
- We are learning to estimate and compare the duration of events using days, hours, minutes and seconds.
- We are learning to use ‘am’ and ‘pm’ notation and solve simple time problems including duration and converting between units of time e.g. 60 mins = 1 hour.
