Year 3 Working with Analogue and Digital Clocks: Party Time!

WOW Lesson

Join Maths expert, Dave Godfrey, as he shares a lesson that helps children develop a deep understanding of working with both analogue and digital clocks, alongside the concepts of minutes to and past the hour, all in a story context. 'All through my teaching career, I’ve been told that we need to teach time ‘all the time’! Telling the time is one of the most useful mathematical skills children pick up. Although some children are likely to have been taught at home to tell the time, this is not the case for all children and cannot be assumed. This lesson will help you develop their understanding and assess where your children are on their journey in telling the time.'

Key Stage 2

Year 3

• Mathematics

• Measurement

• tell and write the time from an analogue clock, including using Roman numerals from I to XII, and 12-hour and 24-hour clocks
• estimate and read time with increasing accuracy to the nearest minute; record and compare time in terms of seconds, minutes and hours; use vocabulary such as o’clock, am/pm, morning, afternoon, noon and midnight
