1. Maths in pictures: Time Use the following images and questions to explore the theme of time. How else can we measure time? How was time measured in the past? Look at the time now. What time is it in Australia? What about New York? How many days are there until your next birthday? Image © vacuum3d/www.stockxpert.com

2. Look at this stopwatch. How many seconds have passed? How many more seconds until one minute has passed? Image © Onur Döngel/www.istockphoto.com

3. People used to tell the time using sundials. How are the numbers arranged differently to a normal clock? We use the shadow cast by the Sun to tell us the time. Where do you think the shadow on this sundial would fall in six hours? Image © Gordana Sermek/www.istockphoto.com

4. Can you work out which month this is? What was special about the year this calendar was produced in? What year might it have been? Image © johnnyscriv/www.istockphoto.com

5. What time is it? Can you write this time in digital? Do you know whether it is am or pm? Image © koksharov dmitry/www.istockphoto.com
