Maths
Learning Objective/Focus: Converting times
Main input: Recap number of seconds in a minute, minutes in an hour, hours in a day, days in a week, and weeks in a year. Use this information to create a chart together.
Activities: MUST – Provide the children with amounts of time in minutes and ask them to work out how many hours that would be. Initially start with whole hours i.e. 60minutes, 120minutes.
SHOULD – Explore converting minutes in hours and hours into minutes. Try some together before providing some for them to work out themselves.
COULD – Explore converting hours into minutes and minutes into seconds. Talk about what happens with the inverse and if the answer is not even i.e. Minutes into hours with remainders turning into …hours and …minutes.
