Time (Year 3)

Learning about time in KS2 Maths helps children read clocks, calculate durations, and understand how time connects to daily routines, timetables, and real-life activities.

Fascinating Fact:

Big Ben in London is one of the most famous clocks in the world and has been telling time since 1859.

In KS2 Maths, pupils explore how to tell the time using analogue and digital clocks, measure intervals, and convert between units such as hours, minutes, and seconds. Understanding time helps with planning, estimating durations, and solving problems linked to real-world situations like travel or television schedules.

Key Terms

  • Analogue Clock: A clock with moving hands to show hours, minutes, and sometimes seconds.
  • Digital Clock: A clock that displays the time using numbers instead of hands.
  • Interval: The amount of time between two points, such as the start and end of an activity.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you tell the time on an analogue clock?

Look at the short hand for the hour and the long hand for the minutes. Each number represents five-minute intervals on the clock face.

What is the difference between a 12-hour and 24-hour clock?

A 12-hour clock splits the day into AM and PM, while a 24-hour clock counts all the hours from midnight to midnight.

Why is learning to tell the time important?

It helps children plan their day, arrive on time, understand timetables, and solve problems that involve durations and schedules.
