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

In the Max Maths Year 2 Workbook, children are invited to explore the relationship between consecutive units of time through a series of engaging practice exercises. In Practice 2, titled "Units of Time," the workbook presents a list of different measurement units and tasks students with identifying which ones are used to measure time. The children are instructed to put a circle around the correct units such as minutes, years, hours, months, seconds, weeks, and days, distinguishing them from unrelated units like kilograms, centimetres, grams, litres, and metres.

The subsequent activity focuses on understanding the hierarchy and length of different time units. Students are asked to draw a circle around the shortest unit of time and a rectangle around the longest one. They must also underline the unit that corresponds to a week and place a tick next to the one that equals 60 seconds. To further reinforce their knowledge, children complete sentences by writing the correct time-related words, such as stating the number of minutes in an hour, weeks in a month, and the number of days, hours, and seconds in other time units. These exercises are designed to help Year 2 students grasp the basic units of time and their relationships to each other, laying the groundwork for more advanced time-telling skills.
