Comparing and Ordering Time - Worksheet

The "Comparing and Ordering Time" worksheets are a series of educational resources designed to help students understand and practice the concepts of time duration and sequence. Worksheet 1 presents a set of events for students to compare and identify which one they believe will take the longest amount of time. They are also tasked with circling the longest and shortest amounts of time from given options. This initial worksheet encourages students to think critically about the duration of different activities and to make comparisons based on their understanding of time.

Worksheet 2 builds on these skills by asking students to use comparison symbols (greater than, less than, and equal to) to compare different times. Additionally, students are required to order a series of times from shortest to longest and vice versa, further developing their ability to sequence events based on duration. Worksheet 3 involves estimating the time it takes to complete various events and arranging them in order from the shortest to the longest time. Finally, Worksheet 4 adds an engaging twist by incorporating a snail race scenario. Students must colour each snail and place them in the correct order on a podium, based on the time it took each snail to complete the race, with times ranging from seconds to hours. These exercises help to solidify students' understanding of time measurement and sequencing in a fun and interactive way.
