Converting between units of time worksheet

Activity 1 of the worksheet is an engaging task that helps children practise converting between units of time using real-life contexts such as timetables. Students are provided with various timetables and are instructed to create three questions that involve calculating the duration of events. They must also include the answer and a suggested calculation method on a separate piece of paper. Once the questions are prepared, children pair up with a partner to exchange and solve each other's time-related problems. This collaborative approach not only enhances their problem-solving skills but also encourages peer learning as they check and discuss each other's work, ironing out any issues that arise. For an added challenge, they can write questions that require them to compare different durations of time, further deepening their understanding of time conversion.

In Activity 2, the worksheet takes a practical turn by incorporating cooking into the learning process. Children are given various recipes and tasked with planning a family meal. The objective is to calculate the cooking times for each part of the meal and then devise a plan that ensures the entire meal is ready at a specific time. This activity not only reinforces their skills in converting between units of time but also introduces essential life skills such as time management and planning. Through this activity, students apply their mathematical knowledge to solve problems involving time conversion, meeting the objective of the lesson in a fun and practical manner.
