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

In a Year 2 mathematics exercise, students are encouraged to explore the relationship between different units of time. This practice activity involves matching various time units to understand their equivalences and how they relate to each other. For instance, students are asked to pair 60 minutes with the correct unit, as well as match 24 hours, 1 minute, 1 month, 12 months, and 1 week with their corresponding time periods like 1 hour, approximately 4 weeks, 7 days, 1 year, and 1 day, respectively. This matching exercise is a practical way for children to grasp the concept of time and its sequential nature, reinforcing their understanding of how smaller units build up to form larger ones.

The activity is designed to be interactive and engaging, encouraging students to think critically about the duration of different time spans. It serves as a fundamental stepping stone in their mathematical development, setting the groundwork for more complex time-related concepts they will encounter in later years. This specific practice can be found in the Max Maths workbook on page 184, where students can complete the exercise and check their answers, ensuring they have correctly comprehended the relationship between consecutive units of time.
