Before teaching, be aware that:
On Day 1 children will need mini-whiteboards and pens. You can use the ITP ‘Tell the Time’ to generate further examples.
On Day 2 children will need mini-whiteboards and pens and analogue clocks. You can use the ITP ‘Tell the Time’ to generate further examples.
On Day 3 children will need mini-whiteboards and pens. You can use the clock at to generate further examples.

Pre-requisite skills – to use this starter, drag this slide to the start of Day 1
Ask quick fire questions about units of time, e.g. How many seconds in a minute? How many minutes in an hour? Hours in a day? Days in a week? Days in March/January? Months in a year? Days in a year? Write a number on the board e.g. 24. What might the question be? E.g. How many hours in a day. Repeat with other numbers, e.g. 7, 60, 30, 365 etc.

Write the number 60 in a big star in the middle of the board. Put some multiples of 5 in a feely bag up to 55. Choose a child to pick a number from the bag, e.g. 45. The rest of the class work out the matching pair that is needed to make 60, e.g = 60.

Ask children to draw a 2 x 3 grid on their whiteboards. Draw a similar one on the IWB. Write a multiple of 5 in each of the boxes. Children write the matching multiplication that gives that multiple as an answer, e.g. for 55 they write 11 x 5 = 55.

31. Problem solving and reasoning questions
Draw the hands on a clock to show:
• Ten past ten
• Ten to ten
• 11:45
• Quarter past 3
• 12:40
True or false
• 1:50 is the same as 10 minutes to 2.
• 5 o’clock PM is 12 hours later than 5 o’clock AM.
• 15 minutes before 6 o’clock is 5:15 on a digital clock
• If the hour hand is pointing to VI, it is six o’clock
• If the minute hand points at XI, it is nine o’clock.
If the clock hands make a straight line on an analogue clock, can you write some of the times that the clock might be showing?
