Representing Times, 5-Min Intervals (2)
EASYTEACHING.NET
Overview:
An activity designed to help students read times in words and represent them in both analogue and digital forms (5-minute interval times). Designed for middle years students.
Learning Objectives:
- Read times in words for 5-minute intervals and convert them into analogue and digital formats.
- Strengthen time-reading skills by practising conversions between word, analogue, and digital representations.
- Develop a deeper understanding of how time is represented in 5-minute intervals.
How the Activity Works:
Students are given times written in words (e.g., "five past two", "quarter to three") and must represent each time in both analogue and digital formats (e.g., 2:05, 2:45). This activity helps students improve their ability to convert between word, analogue, and digital representations of time, reinforcing their understanding of 5-minute interval times.
