Students are presented with a practical and engaging task that involves managing and converting units of time, specifically focusing on their internet usage. The activity requires them to create a detailed timetable documenting their daily internet habits. They must identify and calculate the duration they spend on each website or application that they frequently visit. This exercise not only reinforces the concept of time measurement but also encourages awareness of personal time management and digital habits.

Once the daily usage is recorded, students are challenged to convert the time spent on each digital activity into seconds, honing their skills in converting between different units of time. This conversion task provides a hands-on approach to understanding the relationship between seconds, minutes, and hours. Additionally, students are prompted to extrapolate their daily internet usage to estimate the total number of hours they spend online annually. This task not only solidifies their understanding of time conversion but also offers a broader perspective on time allocation over a longer period.
