Time Resources and Activities:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/time/teaching-clock 

You can play with setting time on the clock and explore how the clock works in relation to time including seconds, minutes and hours.

Practical Activities:

  • When cooking dinner (whether it be you or your grown ups), can you write down the timings? This includes how long it takes to prepare the food as well as how long it takes to bake a cake.
  • Can you time yourself doing your daily exercise? How long did it take? What time did you start? What time did you finish?
  • Can you challenge someone at home to the time game that Stephen Mulhern loves to play on his Saturday evening TV programme 'In for a Penny'? You decide on a set amount of seconds as the target (e.g. 10 seconds), the judge has a stopwatch and tells you when to begin. You need to tell the judge to stop the stopwatch when you think it has been that exact number of seconds. Keep taking it in turns and changing the target.

Times Tables Songs:

Many of you will be using Times Tables Rockstars to practise your times tables but you can also use songs. Here are some great ones that you might want to learn:

BBC Bitesize:

The BBC Bitesize website is fantastic for reviewing topics and going over key skills. Here are some areas you might like to recap:
