Representing Times, Quarter Past/To (1)

Overview:

An activity designed to help students read times in words and represent them in both analogue and digital forms (quarter past and quarter to times). Designed for early and middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Read times in words (quarter past and quarter to) 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 quarter past and quarter to times.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given times written in words (e.g., "quarter past three", "quarter to five") and must represent each time in both analogue and digital formats (e.g., 3:15, 4:45). This activity helps students improve their ability to convert between word, analogue, and digital representations of time, reinforcing their understanding of quarter past and quarter to times.
