Time - Writing the time - Worksheet

The worksheet titled "Fluency and Precision 2(R) Before and After" is designed to help students understand the concept of time and how to categorise activities based on their duration. The task requires students to think about whether the duration of various common activities should be measured in seconds, minutes, or hours. This exercise is not only about recognising the length of time activities take but also about improving their time-telling skills and their understanding of time as a measurable quantity.

Students are presented with a list of activities that they need to sort into three groups according to the appropriate unit of time measurement. For instance, quick actions such as winking or clapping three times would typically be measured in seconds. Activities of moderate length, like brushing teeth or having a bath, are more suitably measured in minutes. Longer durations, such as playing outside, reading a book, or sleeping, would generally be measured in hours. By categorising activities like going to a party, watching TV, or attending the cinema, students learn to apply their knowledge of time to real-life scenarios, enhancing both their fluency and precision in writing and understanding time.
