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.

How do you tell the time on an analogue 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.
