Time - Years, Months, Weeks, Days - Worksheet
Maths Resource Description
This worksheet provides a comprehensive approach to learning about the different units of time such as years, months, weeks, and days. Initially, children revisit the number of minutes in an hour and seconds in a minute from their Year 3 curriculum. They then apply their multiplication and division skills to convert between these units of time. The exercises begin with simple conversions between days and weeks, where children are given number prompts to assist them. As they progress, they tackle more complex conversions without prompts, using a calendar to guide them. The worksheet includes multi-step questions that require careful calculation before reaching a solution.
Additionally, the worksheet tests the children's reasoning abilities with practical problems. For example, they may be asked to determine who is the youngest between two individuals given their ages in different units, such as months and years. To find the answers, they must understand how to convert between these units and use the information provided, such as the number of days in specific months or the total days in a leap year. The worksheet also encourages fluency and precision by asking students to complete sentences with the correct numbers, further reinforcing their understanding of the calendar and time calculations.
