TIME for our learn by hearts. Year 4.

Of all the content taught for 11+ maths preparation, time is the strangest. Telling the time, converting units of time, using the 24 hour clock, reading from a calendar (and problem solving with calendars) and calculating time durations are all life skills and yet some children just find it so hard. Many times, a child is exceptional at calculations, knows their times tables off by heart etc... and yet time just confounds them. And so we start small. This week's learn by heart target is to 'know basic units of time,' 

60 seconds= 1 minute 

60 minutes= 1 hour 

24 hours= 1 day 

7 days= 1 week 

28/31 days= 1 month 

365/6 days= 1 year 

12 months= 1 year 

52 weeks = 1 year 

10 years= 1 decade 

100 years= 1 century 

Below are some links to games that are all about different elements of time- it's worth checking that the children have these skills as they are not covered very much at school.
