Max Maths, Year 4, Learn together, Different times of the day (3)

In the Max Maths curriculum for Year 4, students are introduced to the concept of time management and daily routines. One of the exercises includes learning about different times of the day through the schedule of a character named Toby. The activity illustrates Toby's daily activities and the specific times at which he carries them out. For instance, Toby has his lunch at 1 p.m., which could be an opportunity for students to understand midday time and the 12-hour clock format.

Following his lunchtime, the schedule states that Toby does his homework at 4 p.m., allowing children to grasp the concept of the afternoon and the progression of hours after noon. Lastly, the activity mentions that Toby goes to bed at 9 p.m. This gives students a sense of evening time and the importance of a regular bedtime. Through Toby's routine, students can learn to read and understand time, as well as relate these skills to their own daily activities and the structure of a typical day.
