Telling the time is an important life skill and to help support the teaching of time we've created a differentiated pack of word-problems, perfect for Years 3 to 5! Our questions range from giving answers in whole hours, all the way to giving answers in 1 minute intervals on both 12 and 24 hour clocks. We've also added some tricky conversion questions to really get minds ticking!

This KS2 Time Word Problems resource can be used as part of the main lesson, in small groups or cut up and made into challenge questions. Don't worry, we've also included the answers.
