Max Maths, Year 2, Try it, The relationship between consecutive units of time

In the "Max Maths, Year 2" curriculum, students are encouraged to explore the relationship between consecutive units of time through a series of exercises aimed at reinforcing their understanding of time measurement. The "Let's Try It" section provides a practical approach for young learners to grasp how seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years relate to each other in a straightforward and engaging manner.

The first activity requires students to write the correct number corresponding to each statement about units of time. For instance, they must know that there are 60 seconds in one minute, a certain number of minutes in an hour, and so on, up to the number of months in a year. The second task involves completing sentences that equate specific quantities of a smaller unit of time to a larger unit, such as "60 seconds equals one minute" and "24 hours equals one day". These exercises are designed to solidify the foundational concept of time measurement, which is crucial for developing time management and scheduling skills in later life.
