Max Maths, Year 3, Practice, Units of time

In the Max Maths Year 3 practice activity on units of time, students are encouraged to think about the appropriate time measurements for various scenarios. The exercise is designed to help children become familiar with different units of time and how they are applied in everyday contexts.

For example, Jade's homework completion time is measured in minutes, as it takes her 35 minutes to finish. Tya completes her painting in hours, specifically in 8 hours. Samir's savings are calculated on a weekly basis, with $14 saved in 1 week. Padma's favourite television show has a duration measured in minutes, running for 30 minutes on Tuesday. The time it takes to prepare dinner is often counted in hours, and in this case, it took 1 hour. Holding one's breath is a matter of seconds, so the unit used is 45 seconds. The journey by plane to Egypt from Turkey is measured in hours, taking about 2 hours. Lastly, the incubation period for a chicken egg is commonly referred to in days, taking about 21 days to hatch.
