Year 3 Telling the Time to 5 Minutes

This Year 3 Telling the Time to 5 Minutes lesson covers the prior learning of reading the time on a clock in 5 minute intervals, before moving onto the main skill of telling the time to 5 minutes on an analogue clock which uses either numbers or Roman numerals.

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.
