I can compare and sequence intervals of time.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Intervals of time can be compared using greater than, equal to and less than.
- They can also be ordered from longest to shortest or shortest to longest.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to compare two time intervals when they are presented in different formats, such as five minutes to a quarter of an hour.
The lesson encourages converting time into minutes. Develop automaticity in recalling facts such as 15 minutes = quarter of an hour, 30 minutes = half an hour, 45 minutes = three quarters of an hour and 60 minutes = one hour.
Keywords
Interval - An interval is the space between two values or points. In this lesson, the time between nine o'clock and quarter past nine for example.
