Year 3 Measuring Time in Seconds

This Year 4 Measuring Time in Seconds lesson covers the prior learning of finding the duration, before moving onto the main skill of converting between minutes and seconds.

The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.
