Overview:

An activity designed to help students add elapsed time in 1-minute intervals, reading the start time and calculating the end time in both analogue and digital formats. Designed for students in years 5 and 6.

Learning Objectives:

  • Add elapsed time in 1-minute intervals to determine the end time.
  • Accurately represent the end times in both analogue and digital formats.
  • Develop a strong understanding of adding small time increments.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with a start time and an instruction to add an elapsed time in 1-minute intervals (e.g., 18 minutes, 9 minutes, etc.). They will calculate the new end time by adding the elapsed time to the start time and record the result in both analogue and digital formats. This activity reinforces time-telling skills and supports precise time calculations.
