Lesson 1: Calculations with Time Units
Section | Details |
---|---|
Objective | Calculate with time: seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, including relationships between units. |
Activities | – Starter (5 mins): Ask: “How many minutes are there in 2 hours 15 minutes?” – Main (30 mins): Teach unit conversions (1 min = 60 s, 1 h = 60 min, 1 day = 24 h, 1 year = 365 days). Practice problems converting between units. – Plenary (5 mins): Quick quiz converting times between units. |
Resources | Worksheets, conversion tables, stopwatch or clock images. |
Time | 40 minutes: 5 (Starter) + 30 (Main) + 5 (Plenary). |
Homework | Convert 15 different time values into other units (hours → minutes, days → hours, etc.). |
Assessment | Worksheet: time conversions. |
Past Paper Practice | “Convert 2 hours 45 minutes into minutes.” |
Lesson 2: 12-hour and 24-hour Clock
Section | Details |
---|---|
Objective | Calculate and interpret times using 12-hour and 24-hour clock systems. |
Activities | – Starter (5 mins): Show 1515 → ask students to write in 12-hour clock. – Main (30 mins): Teach conversions between 12-hour and 24-hour clock. Practice reading timetables and travel schedules. – Plenary (5 mins): Quick-fire conversion exercise. |
Resources | Worksheets, sample timetables, clock diagrams. |
Time | 40 minutes: 5 (Starter) + 30 (Main) + 5 (Plenary). |
Homework | Write 10 random times in both 12-hour and 24-hour format. |
Assessment | Worksheet: interpreting and converting clock times. |
Past Paper Practice | “In the 24-hour clock, 3.15 p.m. is written as 1515.” |
Lesson 3: Time Zones and Timetables
Section | Details |
---|---|
Objective | Solve problems involving timetables, time zones, local times, and time differences. |
Activities | – Starter (5 mins): Ask: “If it’s 9:00 a.m. in London, what time is it in Karachi (UTC+5)?” – Main (30 mins): Teach calculating differences between local times and solving timetable problems (flights, trains). Practice real-life examples with world map. – Plenary (5 mins): Group activity: plan a flight schedule across 3 time zones. |
Resources | Worksheets, world time zone map, airline/train timetables. |
Time | 40 minutes: 5 (Starter) + 30 (Main) + 5 (Plenary). |
Homework | Solve 5 travel timetable problems involving time zones. |
Assessment | Worksheet: problems on time zones and schedules. |
Past Paper Practice | “Solve timetable problem involving time differences.” |
