BACK TO WORKSHEETS
Time is passing all the time.
Even reading this sentence takes time... but how long?
In this activity, we are going to be working out how long some things take from the start to the end of the event.
Facts we need to know:
60 seconds = 1 minute
60 minutes = 1 hour
24 hours = 1 day
Example
Simone's music lesson starts at 9:30 a.m. and ends at 10 a.m.
How long does the music lesson last?
In this question, we need to find how much time passes between 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m.
We can see that the time on this clock reads 9:30.
From one digit to the next is 5 minutes.
If we count in 5s (5 minutes) from 6 to 12 we can see that 30 minutes will have passed.
After 30 minutes the time will be 10 o'clock.
The music lesson lasts 30 minutes.
Now, why don't you have a go at some questions?
