Max Maths, Year 2, Try it, Units of time

In a practical exercise aimed at Year 2 pupils, students are encouraged to explore the concept of time by arranging various units in order from the shortest to the longest. This task helps to develop their understanding of time measurement and the relative durations of different time units. It's an engaging way for children to familiarise themselves with seconds, minutes, hours, days, and perhaps even weeks, months, and years, depending on the units provided in the exercise.

The activity, found on a specific workbook page, requires children to think critically about the length of time each unit represents and to sequence them accordingly. This hands-on approach not only reinforces their comprehension of time but also enhances their ability to compare and contrast different measures. By physically ordering the units, students are able to visualize the incremental nature of time and how these units fit together to structure our understanding of time's passage.
