(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

Breakfast, school, dinner, bedtime. Put them in time order from morning to night.

In KS1 Maths, children solve everyday time problems by sequencing events, using words like before and after, and picking sensible units. Pupils compare durations and read simple timetables or routines.

Key Terms

Sequence: The order of events from first to last.
Duration: How long something takes, such as minutes or hours.
Before/After: Words that tell when one event happens compared with another.

Get warmed up: try the Numeracy Game to practise ordering before you start the quiz.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do I put daily events in the correct order?

Think about the day from morning to night. Breakfast comes before school, school comes before dinner, and bedtime is last.

Which unit should I use: seconds, minutes or hours?

Very short actions use seconds, everyday tasks like eating use minutes, and long activities like school or journeys use hours.

What words help with time problems in Year 1?

Use yesterday, today, tomorrow, before, after, first, next, then, and last to describe when events happen.
