Choose Units to Match Events

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A simple and engaging activity where students choose the most appropriate unit of time to measure different events. Designed for early years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Develop an understanding of different units of time (seconds, minutes, hours).
  • Apply reasoning skills to match events with appropriate time measurements.
  • Build familiarity with everyday activities and their approximate durations.

How the Activity Works:

Students are presented with a list of activities, such as "make a sandwich" or "watch a movie." For each event, they circle the most appropriate unit of time: seconds, minutes, or hours. This activity helps young learners build a practical sense of time measurement in an interactive way.
