Year 2 Time - Telling the Time and Understanding its Units
If I start reading my book at half past 10 and finish it 4 hours later, what time do I finish my book?

Year 2 Time - Telling the Time and Understanding its Units

This quiz addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 Maths and Numeracy for children aged 6 and 7 in year 2. Specifically this quiz is aimed at the section dealing with telling the time and understanding units of time.

Once children in Year 2 are familiar with telling the time to the hour, half hour and quarter hour, and can also tell the time to 5 minutes, to test their understanding they will be expected to solve simple problems to do with time. These problems will focus on the units of time, hours, half hours and quarter hours, and will be set in real life contexts such as journeys or TV programmes.

This quiz will help children to understand the units of time and so help them to tell the time.
