Maths Quiz - Time (Year 3) (Questions)

In KS2 Maths, Year Three children learn about time. They explore seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. Did you know there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 12 months in a year? They also figure out when to use minutes to time a meal or hours to time a long journey. Plus, telling the time on digital and analogue clocks is cool!

Time isn't just seconds and hours; it's also years and millennia. We use clocks, watches, and calendars to measure time. Clocks can be analogue or digital. It's important to be able to read the time in both formats!

Do you know how many days in a week, months in a year, or years in a decade? Take the test and discover your time knowledge!
