Max Maths, Year 5, Try it, Time review

In the "Let's Try It" section of the Max Maths Year 5 curriculum, students are given the opportunity to review and apply their knowledge of time. In the first activity, they are asked to write down the times displayed on four different clocks. This exercise is designed to help students practice reading analog clocks, a fundamental skill in understanding time. Each clock (labelled a, b, c, and d) presents a different time, and the students must accurately translate the position of the hands into a digital time format.

The second activity focuses on converting various time measurements into seconds. Students are presented with four different time intervals, and they must perform the necessary calculations to convert each one into seconds. For example, they are given 5 minutes in part (a), which they will convert into seconds by multiplying the number of minutes by 60, since there are 60 seconds in a minute. The tasks increase in complexity, with part (b) including an additional 30 seconds to the base 2 minutes, requiring students to add the extra seconds after the initial conversion. This section is designed to strengthen their understanding of time conversion and arithmetic skills. To further support their learning, students are directed to workbook pages 122 to 124 for additional exercises and practice.
