Time - Comparing time - Worksheet

This worksheet provides a series of races between Ricardo, Janet, and sometimes Joan, with the aim of teaching students how to compare times using the terms 'faster' and 'slower'. The students are presented with the recorded times of the participants in each race and are tasked with completing sentences by determining who was faster or slower in comparison to the others. For example, if Ricardo completed a race in 50 seconds and Janet in 10 seconds, Janet is 'faster' than Ricardo, and Ricardo is 'slower' than Janet. This pattern continues across various races with different times recorded for each participant.

In addition to comparing two racers, some races include a third participant, Joan, which adds a layer of complexity to the comparisons. Students must use the given times to discern the order of speed among the three racers and fill in the blanks accordingly. For instance, if Ricardo finishes in 17 seconds, Janet in 33 seconds, and Joan in 25 seconds, Janet is 'slower' than Ricardo, while Joan is 'faster' than Janet, and Ricardo is 'faster' than Joan. The worksheet encourages students to practice fluency and precision in comparing time, enhancing their understanding of time measurement and comparative adjectives. Correct answers are provided for each race to ensure students can check their work and understand the concept of comparing times accurately.
