What Is Longer?
This handy worksheet supports students when learning about the concept of duration. This worksheet allows students to think about which activity would take longer and shorter in each of the four sets. Pair this with our ‘All About Duration’ presentation for deeper understanding. This worksheet is part of our All About Duration Year 1 Unit plan.
Learning goals
- We are learning to compare objects using mass, length and capacity, e.g. heavier, lighter.
- We are learning to explain the order and duration of events.
- We are learning to explain time durations using months, weeks and days.
- 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 describe the duration and sequence of events using years, months, weeks, days and hours.
