Time - Assessment

In a Year 3 assessment on time, students are presented with a variety of tasks to demonstrate their understanding of how to read and calculate time. One of the exercises involves matching different clocks to their correct times, where students must discern the time displayed and associate it with written times such as '7 o'clock' or 'Quarter past 6'. They are also required to calculate the number of minutes in different time spans, such as 2 hours, a quarter of an hour, and half an hour. The answers are 120 minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes, respectively. Vocabulary related to clock hands is tested, with students needing to identify the longest hand as the 'minute' hand and the shortest as the 'hour' hand.

Further activities include ordering given times from longest to shortest duration, solving real-life problems by calculating the time it takes to walk to a bus stop, and determining the number of hours in multiple days. For instance, Tia leaves her house at seventeen minutes past 3 and walks for 24 minutes to the bus stop, reaching there at nineteen minutes to four. Students are asked to circle 'am' or 'pm' for given activities to show their understanding of the 24-hour cycle. They also engage in exercises where they must work out departure times based on the duration of a journey and the arrival time, such as Malachi's 38-minute walk to school, arriving at 6 minutes past 7. Finally, they are asked to convert hours into days, with a specific task of determining how many days are in 600 hours, and to express their confidence level in understanding time-related concepts.
