Representing Time: Analogue, Digital & Words

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

An activity designed to help students represent time in three different formats: analogue, digital, and word form.

Learning Objectives:

  • Convert time between analogue, digital, and word formats.
  • Develop an understanding of different ways to represent time.
  • Enhance time-telling skills and deepen understanding of how time is shown in various forms.

How the Activity Works:

Students choose a time and represent it in three different ways: on an analogue clock face, as a digital time (e.g., 3:15), and in words (e.g., "quarter past three"). This activity encourages students to practise reading and writing time in multiple formats, reinforcing their ability to understand and represent time in a variety of ways.
